How to Clean Artificial Flowers & Dried Flowers

Care for artificial flowers and dried flowers follows very simple steps. Many of us prefer to carefully clean our arrangements before storing, which is perfect when switching arrangements between seasons. With proper cleaning, you can prevent your faux flowers from fading and properly store your floral investment to last for years.

Whether you're an enthusiast creating a dried flower arrangement or looking to maintain the everlasting beauty of silk flowers, this guide provides insights on how to care for both.

Daily Care for Artificial Flowers and Plants

Caring for your artificial flowers and plants is not nearly as time consuming as live plants. To keep these botanical arrangements appearing the same each day, follow our general tips.

  • Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Keep your artificial plants and flowers away from direct sunlight as this can cause color distortion unless they are coated for UV-protection.
  • Dust Occasionally: If your artificial plants are in high-traffic areas of the home or in a room with a fireplace, they may need occasional dusting. 
  • Check for Damage: Check in on your artificial arrangements and watch for damage, such as a fallen leaf, bent petal, or out-of-place stem. Fixing minor damage is usually very quick, easy, and seamless.

How to clean

1. Dust with a Damp Cloth or Feather Duster

Begin the cleaning process by taking your artificial flowers and plants to an outdoor area. Gently dust the leaves and blooms with a damp cloth or a soft feather duster. This step effectively removes surface dust and debris that may accumulate over time, restoring the flowers' original luster. Take care to be gentle, especially with delicate or intricate designs, to avoid damaging petals and stems.
