Artificial Trees

The easiest way to clean the artificial trees is by using the Silk 'n' Splendor artificial tree and artificial plant cleaner.  The other way of cleaning your chosen artificial tree is with a damp cloth and wipe down each leaf - emm very time consuming!!!

Artificial Plants

Again the easiest way to clean your artificial plants is using the Silk 'n'Splendor cleaner.  Alternatively if you can take the artificial plant out of the pot then you can wash the artificial plant in tepid water that has a little washing up liquid in it.  After swishing the artificial plant around in the water with the washing up liquid you need to make sure that you rinse the plant off in clean water (this can be cold.)  Sometimes if you do not rinse the artificial plant off, the washing up liquid can leave a residue on the leaf.

After washing the best way to dry the artificial plant is to hang it upside down on the washing line - makes an interesting topic of conversation with the neighbours!!

Artificial Single Stem Flowers

These are a bit more difficult to recommend an easy cleaning solution.  Ideally the washing up liquid in tepid water (as per the artificial plant cleaning) would be the best idea BUT you do need to make sure that the colour is fast on the petals.  Plants Enhance would suggest that you try a small area first.

Artificial Fruit

Easy - just wipe over with a damp clean cloth.

Exterior Artificial Trees & Artificial Plants

Again, really easy.  Indoor plastic plants just wipe over with a clean damp cloth.  For outside plastic plants such as the artificial topiary or artificial podocarpus for example we would suggest a gentle hose pipe spray.  To be honest it is unlikely that the outdoor plastic plants will need much attention as the rain seems to help keep them clean and there is usually plenty of rain to be had - well at least here in Somerset!!

Artificial Hanging Baskets

Most of Plants Enhance's hanging baskets have a mixture of plastic ivy with polyester and silk mix flowers.  To be honest we would just wipe the artificial hanging basket plants over with a damp clean cloth, again as with the plastic plants, the rain seems to keep the artificial hanging baskets clean.
