Ways to Care for Your Botanicals

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Botanicals are a great substitute for real flowers. Not only can they be passed off as the real thing, they are also less expensive in the long run and can definitely last longer. Also, unlike fresh flowers, these are easier to maintain, as you don't need to do anything else but clean the arrangement once a week. If you do not know how to clean your artificial flowers, keep in mind the following tips:

Use water. The simplest and cheapest way to clean your botanicals is with a damp cloth. To do this, dampen a piece of cloth with water and then wipe the leaves and petals individually. Just make sure that you do so carefully to avoid damaging them.

Make use of special cleaners. There are cleaners meant for artificial flowers which you can buy in various craft stores. Usually these come in a leave-on formula, so you need only to spray them on the flowers without wiping them dry. Of course, for the cleaner to be effective you need to make sure that all your botanicals are covered thoroughly.

Clean them with common cleaning agents. You can also make use of the usual plastic cleaners which can be purchased in virtually any store selling cleaning implements; however, take extra caution if you do so. Try a bit of the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous spot of the synthetic flower. If there is no change in its appearance and texture, you can apply the cleaning agent on the flowers liberally and then wipe them dry.

Try light dusting. If you are not comfortable with using water or other cleaning agents, you can dust the flowers lightly using a feather duster. When doing this, pay careful attention to the folds of the flowers, and remember to not dust too vigorously. This is less effective compared to the other methods mentioned, but will still do the trick.

Apart from proper cleaning, you can also prolong the life of your artificial flowers by keeping in mind the following reminders:

Do not expose your botanicals to too much heat and sunlight. If you do, the flowers will lose their color and fade more quickly. It is preferable if you place them somewhere cool and away from the sunlight.

Stay away from harsh chemicals. Do not use cleaning agents with bleach - these will definitely damage the flowers. If you can, use cleaning solutions specifically meant for synthetic flowers. These are likely to be available in the store where you bought your botanicals and in other craft stores.

Refrain from dipping the flowers in water. Petals of artificial flowers, particularly those made of silk, are often held together by a type of adhesive that loses its effectiveness when exposed to water. As such, do not immerse the flowers in water if you want to keep them for a long time.
