how do u clean the artificial plants which collect dust?

Question

My artifical orchids or silk trees are beautiful, but collect dust. Is there an easy way to clean them?

i would like quick cleaning ideas- those which don't require detailing or much effors.

Answer 1

There are sprays you can use to clean silk flowers. I would take your tree outside and spray, out of direct sunlight of course!

You may also be able to make your own solution with water and a little Dawn, spray the tree liberally and rinse with the hose. Depends on what kind of pot its in.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Simply mix a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. If the silk flowers are very expensive, test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area of the flower before spritzing liberally.

Also, for simple dusting, clean with a hair dryer set on high fan, cool air. Or simply slip a length of panty hose over your vacuum nozzle and vacuum the flowers.

For silk flowers that are not colorfast, try this. Place cornmeal in a brown bag or plastic bag, and place the flower into the bag. Shake gently to remove caked on dust and dirt. This will not remove any stains, however

Answer 3

The orchids I clean in the kitchen sink with the sprayer on low. The trees I usually spray with a water hose. After they are dry - use artificial leave and flower spray to restore any shine & help with future cleaning.

Answer 4

you can wipe them with a wet or special dust cloth, or a duster. If they are quite dirty and there are no parts that can be damaged by water (especially ones that made of plastic) - stick them under the shower (not hot, low pressure). Some of plants made from textile can be washed like that too - try first on a small patch.

Answer 5

Take them all outside (if possible) and use a good feather duster on them, followed up by the Garden hose. Then leave them outside to dry( a couple hours).

If cleaning them outdoors isn't an option, First dust them well , then run them under your shower to clean.

Answer 6

damp cloths are the main suitable yet no longer the finest. Get a sort of historical poofy brown feather dusters, that's what I used to apply. you may do it greater in many cases even regardless of the undeniable fact that that's performed in a flash

Answer 7

Put some dish soap in a tub.Take the plant and swish it in the water,litely.Then rinse the same way.Hang upside down to dry.Now they are clean.I buy at yard sales and refresh all the time..

Answer 8

may be use small duster... clean each part one by one....
