What's the best way to clean fake flowers and plants around my home?

Answer 1

Put your fake flowers in a bag or bowl(if they will fit) with alot of rice or salt. It must be alot of it. Shake the bag or bowl vigorously. That should clean it.

Answer 2

The key to cleaning silk plants is to put about one cup of table salt in a large grocery paper bag. Put your silk plant inside the paper bag, roll the top down a couple of times and then shake the bag. The salt will remove the dust from the leaves of the plants. Just shake the plant a little as you take it out of the paper bag to make sure all the salt is off the silk plant. You can then store the salt in the paper bag for future use of cleaning silk plants. another good solution is to mix rubbing alcohol. 50/50 with water and spray until the dust starts to run off the plants. It will dry quickly and cleans like a dream. I have used this for may years.

I was told to place them in a bag of Salt and shake them but I use a spray I bought from the hobby shop made for cleaning fake silk flowers. Just spray, no wiping. Works great too!

Gets most of the dust and fluff off them without damaging them. If they are white, try rubbing some talc over the mark too! If the plant is too big to put in a bag, use your blow dryer to blow the dust off. I have also used an old blush brush to get into some of the tighter spots that need detailed.

Answer 7

I put all of mine in the shower and give them a good rinse and set out in the sun to dry, or rinse in the kitchen sink if they will fit, if they are in wicker baskets do the baskets and all. If it is a solid container just empty the water out while hanging on to the arrangements and empty excess water out of the container.

Answer 8
