Simple faux flower care tips
Taking care of faux flowers is relatively easy compared to real ones, but they still benefit from some attention to keep them looking their best.
Here are some simple tips on how to care for artificial flowers.
Dust regularly: Dust can accumulate on faux flowers over time, making them look dull. Use a feather duster or a soft brush. Be careful not to damage the delicate parts of the flowers.
Use a hairdryer: If the dust is stubborn or hard to reach, you can use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting to blow away the dust. Hold the flowers in one hand while using the hairdryer with the other.
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colours of fake flowers to fade over time. Keep them away from windows or rotate their placement regularly to ensure even fading if they're exposed to some sunlight.
Keep away from heat sources: Just like sunlight, heat sources can also damage faux flowers. Avoid placing them near heaters, radiators, or other heat-producing appliances.
Spot clean: If you notice a small, specific area that needs cleaning, you can spot clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the material.
Fluff and reshape: Over time, faux flowers may lose their shape. Gently fluff and reshape the petals and leaves to maintain a natural appearance.
Store carefully: When not in use, store your faux flowers in a cool, dry place. You can use a box or a breathable storage bag to protect them from dust. Avoid squishing them, as this can cause distortion.
By following these tips, you can keep your faux flowers looking vibrant and beautiful for a long time.
