How to clean artificial plants and flowers.

Naturally you want to keep your artificial plants and flowers looking good, so they hold their fine appearance. But how do you best clean them without causing damage? In this post you can read how to clean your artificial plants and flowers.

Cleaning artificial plants the right way

Fake plants do not need much maintenance, but they are sensitive to dust and dirt on the leaves, exactly as real plants are. The best approach is to clean artificial plants properly once a month. If they stand in a dusty space, clean them more often to keep their lifelike appearance.

• Dusting with a feather duster
• Dusting with a soft antistatic cloth
• Wiping the foliage with a slightly damp cloth

You can dust imitation plants with a feather duster, but also with a soft antistatic cloth, which is especially handy for hard-to-reach spots. Are the leaves of the artificial plant quite dirty? Then you can also wipe them carefully with a slightly damp cloth. Add a drop of ecological washing-up liquid to the water. Let the plant air-dry and do not use heating or a hairdryer on warm air.
