Regular dusting prevents buildup and keeps flowers looking fresh. Use one of the following methods. You can use a soft brush, a feather duster, or even a hairdryer on a cool setting. If there are any stubborn stains, you can dampen a clean cloth with a mixture of water and mild soap and gently wipe the affected areas. Be sure to dry the flowers thoroughly afterwards.

For targeted cleaning, use a soft cloth or cotton swab dampened with water and mild soap. Gently wipe the affected area and let it air dry completely before rearranging. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the material.

If flowers accumulate dirt or need a refresh:

1. Mix lukewarm water with a mild soap or use a dedicated silk flower cleaner.
2. Gently immerse individual stems or softly swish them in the solution (avoid soaking delicate blooms for too long).
3. Rinse with clean water and let them fully air dry before styling.

If your flowers are looking a bit tired, you can revitalize them with a steam cleaning. Use a handheld garment steamer or hold the arrangement over a pot of gently boiling water, allowing the steam to penetrate the petals and leaves. Be careful not to expose the flowers to direct contact with the steam or hot water. This method helps restore their natural shape and refresh their overall appearance.

Artificial flowers can sometimes absorb odors from their surroundings. To refresh them:

• Lightly mist with fabric freshener (safe for delicate fabrics).
• Place flowers in a well-ventilated space to eliminate any lingering scents.
• If storing long-term, add a sachet of dried lavender or baking soda to absorb unwanted smells.

If a petal or leaf becomes detached, use fabric glue or a small dab of hot glue to reattach it.

If flowers begin to show signs of age, consider replacing select stems instead of an entire arrangement for a refreshed look.

Prolonged sunlight exposure can fade the colors of your flowers. To protect them, keep them away from direct sunlight or use UV protective sprays specifically designed for artificial flowers.

When not in use, store your flowers in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. To protect delicate components and prevent crushing, wrap them in tissue paper or bubble wrap. Avoid using plastic bags or containers that can trap moisture, as this may lead to mold or discoloration.

By following these simple care and maintenance tips, you can keep your Botané flowers looking their best for many years to come.

Preserved Plants are real plants that have been treated to keep their natural look. With gentle, dry care, they can last around 3 to 5 years.

• Keep them dry. Never water, mist, steam or wash them. Avoid humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens.
• Dust gently. Use a soft brush or a hairdryer on the lowest cool setting, held at a distance.
• Avoid sun and heat. Direct sunlight fades the colors, and heat sources like radiators and fireplaces can dry out the petals. Do not use UV sprays.
• Keep them indoors. They are not made for outdoor use or damp spaces.
• Store with care. Keep them in their original box or another dry, dark place, with nothing pressing on the plants.
• Expect natural fading. The colors stay true for about 12 to 18 months. After that, they slowly soften into a more muted tone, which is natural for preserved plants.
