Cleaning a Straw Handbag?

I've tried using a mild hand soap and a toothbrush, and spraying lightly with the hose from my kitchen sink. Then I left it upside down on my porch to try. It looked great. Try to avoid getting it waterlogged and you may want to cover any hardware with masking tape first.

Thanks for the handsoap and toothbrush idea. I dried it wth a blowdryer lightly and it worked great!
