Cleaning an Artificial Christmas Tree

Does anyone have any idea how to clean an artificial Christmas tree? We have had one for about 5 years and it is horribly dirty and dusty.

Lay the branches in the bath filled with warm mildly soapy water, so stand it up in the shower and turn on the water.

I was thinking that you could use the same principle in cleaning your tree as I've seen listed many places for cleaning artificial flowers.
Place the tree in a large bag, sprinkle with salt, tie closed and shake. Untie, shake off excess salt and remove the bag. It is suppose to remove the dust and dirt.
I think it's worth a try.

If you have a good vacuum cleaner, use it with a light brushing.

Maybe they had a war about who dreamed up that brilliant idea! LOL

If your blow dryer has a cool setting use that.

air blow it. if you have a air compresser set your psi real high at 50-60 psi and blow it real good.

You might be able to use your garden hose to clean off the tree. Then move the tree into your garage so the branches don't develop ice cycles while sitting in the cold air.

My sister-in-law and her husband hated to decorate their artificial tree every year. So after the Christmas season they laid a large white sheet over the decorated tree and raised it up into their attic.

Then the following Christmas they lowered the tree from the attic and they had a ready decorated tree.

My sister-in-law and her husband are divorced, but the decorated Christmas tree had nothing to do with their marriage problems. LOL! :o)
