Carefully running them under water and blotting dry/wiping excess dust off with a cloth (no paper towels or there'll be lint) works for me.
Good luck! (:

Yes, indeed. You can vacuum them carefully, or shake them well in a bag; and then lightly rinse them in some mild dishwashing liquid and cool water. Hang them upside down to dry.
Try rice. Take a paper bag and place a cup or two of white rice (uncooked of course). Place the plant inside and shake. Give it a few good shakes and the rice will dust the plant off. This works great with wreaths and dried flower arrangements too.
You can also blow them with your hair blowdryer outside. Make sure you use the cool option.

There is a silk flower cleaner spray available at most craft stores that does a decent job as long as the dust hasn't built up too heavy. Shake them out first and then spray.

i would do a test on some of the flowers !
but if there is glue it's out!
put the flowers themself in a laundry bag and hand wash them! \
place them in the dryer bag in all and dry!
but honestly the rice girl pinned it!

Brown paper bag with a bit of salt and shake it around . Should come off.

Throw them out. Bad feng shui.

Use a hair dryer on them to blow the dust away.
