Cleaning Steps

First, begin by dusting or removing any excess dirt, dust, and debris from your artificial plants. You can do this by either:

1) Running your feather duster over your artificial foliage, or

2) If easily portable, bring your artificial plant outside and use a paintbrush to remove any extra dirt that has accumulated not only on the faux-liage, but within the planter itself.

For hard to reach places (like the inside of a silk flower) use a toothbrush to remove dust that's gathered in tighter to reach spaces.

Use a handheld brush attached to your vacuum to suck up any additional debris.

Use your cloth to wipe down any silk leaves, textured trunks, and decorative pots/planters that show signs of discoloration or dust.

When finished, apply a small drop of furniture polish to the microfiber cloth and wipe individual leaves for a light, natural shine!
