Studio Green

Regularly dust your flowers to remove any accumulated dust or debris. 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.

Spot Cleaning

For individual flower heads or smaller components that require specific attention, spot cleaning is the way to go. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab dipped in a mixture of water and mild soap to gently clean the surface. Allow the area to air dry completely before returning the flowers to their arrangement.

Deep Cleaning

Occasionally, your flowers may need a more thorough cleaning. Prepare a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap or silk flower cleaner. Immerse the entire arrangement or submerge individual components in the solution, gently agitating them to remove dirt or stains. Rinse with clean water and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on display.

Steam Cleaning

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.

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.
