Care Instructions

♡ Care Tips for HW Flowers & Foliage Artificial Flowers, Wreaths & Arrangements.

✦ Regular Dusting

Dust is the biggest culprit for making artificial arrangements look tired! Gently remove surface dust every 1-2 weeks using a soft feather duster, clean paintbrush, or dry microfibre cloth. Brush lightly in one direction rather than scrubbing, to avoid loosening petals or bending delicate foliage. Regular dusting prevents build-up and keeps colours vibrant without needing deeper cleans too often.

✦ Cleaning with Mild Soap & Water

For light stains or grime: mix a tiny drop of gentle dish soap with lukewarm water. Dampen a soft cloth - do not soak it - and gently wipe petals and leaves. Rinse by dabbing with a clean damp cloth, then pat completely dry with a towel. Never submerge arrangements in water, and avoid soaking foam bases or stems. Allow to air dry fully before displaying again.

✦ Using a Hairdryer on a Cool Setting

Perfect for reaching tricky spots! Set your hairdryer to cool/low - NO heat. Hold it about 20–30cm away and blow gently to lift dust from deep within wreaths and dense arrangements. Heat can melt glue, warp plastic, and fade colours - always keep it cool! Quick and effective for weekly maintenance.

✦ Silk Flower Cleaning Spray

Specially formulated silk flower sprays are wonderful for a quick refresh. Simply mist lightly from around 30cm away - do not drench - and let it air dry. These sprays lift dust, repel future settling, and leave a subtle fresh finish. Always test on a small hidden area first to ensure no colour transfer, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.

✦ Storing Artificial Flowers & Flower Wreaths

  • Clean thoroughly before putting into storage - dust left behind can attract moisture.
  • For wreaths: store in a wreath storage box to keep shape.
  • For arrangements: put in storage containers or boxes, upright where possible.
  • Use acid-free tissue paper to cushion delicate flower heads to avoid crushing.

✦ Reshaping & Fluffing Up Flowers

Over time or after storage, petals and leaves may lose their shape. Gently bend wired stems and foliage back into position with your fingers. Fluff out fabric petals carefully - they’re designed to be manipulated! For stubborn creases, a brief blast of cool air from a hairdryer can help relax fibres. Take your time - small adjustments make a huge difference.
