Any Home Bakers Here?

I baked a Champlain loaf yesterday. I had it shaped and ready to put in the banneton batard basket when I noticed the basket had mold growing in it!:sick I used a tea towel and larger bread pan which worked out just fine.
I think those long ferments with many hours in the fridge are just asking for trouble with a wicker basket. Or maybe I should have cleaned it once in a while and made sure it dried properly. Either way I’m not going to replace the basket real soon. My kitchen is crammed to the rafters and if I don’t need it I’m not replacing it. Hope everyone has a great day!
