Here are some simple rules to follow when cleaning silk flowers and greens. Follow these rules and silk flowers, plants, or trees should last for several years.

1. Try to place your silk flowers, plants, and trees in a location that is cool and out of direct sunlight. Hot temperatures and direct sunlight can cause colors to fade.
2. Do not use a vacuum to remove dust. The vacuum may cause the petals and leaves to rip apart or fall off.
3. Instead of a vacuum, use a small feather duster or soft cloth. Done a weekly basis, this will prevent an excessive dust build up.
4. You can also used canned air to help dust. To get better results, use the feather duster first. This will loosen dirt and make it easier to blow away.
5. If you choose to wash your silk flowers, greens, and trees, make sure you do not use soap. Also, always use COLD water.
6. When drying them, place them out of sunlight and allow them to air dry in a shaded area. Using a dryer or the sun can cause them to fade or fray.
7. When not in use, cover them with some kind of protective layer. Plastic trash bags work well.
