Here are some simple rules to follow when cleaning silk flowers and greens. Follow these rules and silk flowers, plants, or trees should last for several years.
- Try to place your silk flowers, plants, and trees in a location that is cool and out of direct sunlight. Hot temperatures and direct sunlight can cause colors to fade.
- Do not use a vacuum to remove dust. The vacuum may cause the petals and leaves to rip apart or fall off.
- Instead of a vacuum, use a small feather duster or soft cloth. Done a weekly basis, this will prevent an excessive dust build up.
- You can also used canned air to help dust. To get better results, use the feather duster first. This will loosen dirt and make it easier to blow away.
- If you choose to wash your silk flowers, greens, and trees, make sure you do not use soap. Also, always use COLD water.
- When drying them, place them out of sunlight and allow them to air dry in a shaded area. Using a dryer or the sun can cause them to fade or fray.
- When not in use, cover them with some kind of protective layer. Plastic trash bags work well.
