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.

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)
