Care of silk floral arrangements, greeneries or topiaries with accumulated dust

If you own silk floral arrangements or greenery that has accumulated dust, it is never too late to restore these quality silk stems, swags, wreathes and centerpieces to their original stunning condition. First, inspect each silk floral or greenery stem to determine if it has been hand-painted. If the silk floral or greenery material has not been painted by hand, you may dab each piece with a damp cloth. More dust accumulation may require you to dissemble the floral or greenery arrangement, spray with a mixture containing three parts water and one part vinegar, dab carefully, and lay the stems to dry on a towel before reassembly. If the silk floral or greenery arrangement is painted by hand, you may wish to purchase a can of compressed air. Hold the can in one hand and the silk floral or greenery arrangement in another. Always assure that the air flows against the stem.

Resin bowls, metal pedestal vases and porcelain-type containers, either worked over with textured designs, decorated with color that brings out the unique qualities of the silk floral or greenery arrangement, or simple, monochromatic containers that allow the silk arrangement speak for itself, can easily be cared for. Quickly wiping the containers once a day will prevent dust accumulation; if you choose to clean them once a week, a damp cloth with do. Containers that have accumulated dust over time may need a mild soap that will clean these beautiful floral and greenery containers and not harm their decorations or worked surfaces.
