Silk flowers and artificial greenery are a beautiful, low-maintenance way to add lasting style to your space. But even faux florals need an occasional deep clean to maintain their vibrancy. Here are a few simple tips to help keep your silk arrangements looking their best:

1. Rinse Well
Place your wreath or arrangement in the bathtub and hose it down to remove all dust. For larger pieces or trees, you can do the same outdoors.

2. Shake it Off
Give the piece a good shake to remove excess water.

3. Air Dry
Take the item outside and allow it to dry in the sun.

4. Fluff and Shape
After drying, gently reshape petals, leaves, and stems as needed to restore their fullness.

That’s it. With a bit of time and care, your faux florals will remain beautiful for years to come.

There’s nothing like a fresh floral bouquet to brighten up a room. But without proper care, vibrant blooms can wilt too soon. Here are a few simple tips to help your fresh cut flowers last longer:

1. Trim the Stems
As soon as you bring your flowers home, trim 1–2 inches off the stems at a 45-degree angle.

2. Use Clean Water
Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and flower food. Change the water every 2–3 days, rinsing the vase first.

3. Remove Lower Leaves
Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline to reduce bacterial growth, which can shorten the life of your flowers.

4. Avoid Heat and Sunlight
Keep your bouquet out of direct sunlight. Flowers last longer in cooler, shaded areas.

That’s it. With just a little TLC, you can enjoy the beauty and fragrance of fresh flowers for days to come.
