I do not buy anything other then cheap furniture polish. Spray 'it' on my silk flowers and walk away, folks compliment how nice my silk plants and flowers look. I got the idea from these folks (thrifty fun) some time ago and it works!

Go to Wal-Mart and get a can of, dah-da, artificial flower cleaner, which you just spray on. Works on chandeliers too.

I make up some soapy dish water with a touch of oxy clean in in and swish my flowers around in it. I then rinse them and shake as much water out as possible. allow to dry upside down overnight in the dish drainer and then replace in vase or container.

I swish mine in water, with washing up liquid added, then leave them on a towel to dry. I quite often spray them with some room spray or light perfume.

Artificial flowers and greenery can be easily cleaned by throwing them into a paper bag partially filled with coarse salt and/or cornmeal. Just shake. By Robin


Some artificial flowers are washable. Dip the flowers, one at a time, in a solution of two tablespoons of sudsy ammonia and one quart of water, rinse well and drain on towels.

I use my blow dryer on the cooler setting. (10/06/2010)

RE: Cleaning Artificial Flowers

I just swish them through water under the tap to remove the dust, and give them a shake to get the water off. Sometimes I fill the sink and swish them there. Nothing special! I've had some for years (too long, really!!) (10/09/2010)
