You have to treat the willow with fungicides to prevent mould.

Never use linseed oil because it will attract mould.

You can impregnate the willow with oil, the same oil you use to treat furnitures. You can wipe out the dirt with water, detergent and vingar, to get the colour back again in a period of time.

The willow have to be dry before you start giving it oil.
