Whether it's an artificial tree, a silk plant or silk flowers, test it to
make sure that your plant will take well to some tap water. Remove one leaf from an inconspicuous portion of your artificial plant and rinse it with
some tap water and shake it out. After a few minutes, check the leaf to see
how shiny it is.
After your have tested your leaf, the best thing to do is to take the plant
outside and dust it with a feather duster. This will remove most of the dust
and prime your plant for it's cleaning. Then check your artificial plant,
tree or flower arrangement to make sure that the filler isn't some kind of
paper such as newspaper. You will most certainly end up with a mess on your hands. If your artificial plant or tree does, we offer a wonderful array of Spanish moss to our customers, or find some at your local floral supply
store. If you plant is in a brass or copper like pot, find something to
protect it with as brass, copper or the like will get water stains and
tarnish fairly easily.
Make sure that you have your silk plant or silk tree on a cemented area like a patio or a driveway and is near a water hose. If you have a spray nozzle on your hose, you're in good shape, if not, just make sure that you spray the water at your artificial plant rather than dousing it. Spray your plant thoroughly with the hose, and when you're done, shake the artificial tree or plant lightly to get most of the water off.
After you are finished with spraying and shaking out your silk plant or your
silk tree, allow it to dry in the sun for a few hours.
This regimen is good to do about ever 3 to 6 months, and in between those times, we suggest that you use a good feather duster to keep your artificial plants looking fresh and new.

put some common table salt, a 1/4 c should do, in a paper bag, add the flowers a few at a time, close the top and shake. The salt will remove the dust easily. Shake the salt out of the flowers back into the bag and repeat.

Throw them away and buy fresh flowers, fake flowers are always tacky.
