White flowers turned yellow from cigarette smoke.
Flowers are permanently glued in a vase with green leaves.
I do not want to ruin the leaves or vase by spraying bleach.
What else can I use?

If you are afraid to use water and a mild soap, because you think that you will destroy them, then you can go to a specialized shop (or even visit an e-shop at e-bay or amazon) and have a look for a specific product. Just be sure not to spend more than what the entire pot with with the flowers costs.
Usually, dry cleaning is working in "fresh dirty".

You can get one of those special cleaners, but I've found that just swooshing them around in a sink with a mild detergent works just fine. Since yours are glued in, it might be a bit awkward, but I believe it's do-able. Just grab the vase with one hand, the stems with the other, invert and swoosh the flowers only, not the vase.

Go to your local hobby store. There are actually cleaners designed for silk plants. Wal-Mart has it, too, in that section of the store.

a fine spray with the garden hose works for me, to get the dust off. set in smoke you won't get entirely off

i guess, you can try bleach on a piece of cloth, to target only the areas you want, (after the water hose for the dust)
