Following these steps will help your silk florals stay vibrant and beautiful for years to come.

1. Dust Regularly

  • Use a soft, dry cloth, feather duster, or a microfiber duster to gently remove dust.
  • For delicate arrangements, use a can of compressed air or a hairdryer on a cool, low setting.

2. Clean as Needed

  • If the florals are noticeably dirty, clean them with a soft cloth dampened with water or a gentle cleaning solution (a small amount of mild dish soap mixed with water).
  • Avoid saturating the fabric, as excess moisture can damage the flowers or cause colors to bleed.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight

  • Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration. Display silk florals in areas with indirect light to preserve their vibrant colors.

4. Keep Away from Heat and Humidity

  • Heat and moisture can warp or damage silk flowers. Avoid placing them near heat sources (like radiators) or in damp areas (such as unventilated bathrooms).

5. Refresh with a Silk Floral Spray (Optional)

  • Use a specialty silk floral spray to restore color and add a subtle shine. Follow the product’s instructions carefully.

6. Store Properly When Not in Use

  • Place silk florals in a clean, dry container or bag to protect them from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain their appearance.

7. Handle Gently

  • Avoid rough handling or bending the petals and stems, as this may cause permanent creases or damage.

8. Acrylic Water Care

  • For arrangements with acrylic water, do not expose to direct sunlight to protect them from discoloration.
