How to Care for Your Artificial Flowers Like a Pro

1. DUST REGULARLY

Just like any décor item, artificial flowers can collect dust over time. A quick weekly dusting will keep them looking bright and clean.

Pro tip:
Use a feather duster, a soft makeup brush or a microfiber cloth to gently sweep away dust. For hard-to-reach spots, try a hairdryer on a cool, low setting.

2. CLEAN GENTLY WHEN NEEDED

If your artificial flowers look dull or slightly grimy, it might be time for a gentle wash.

How to clean artificial flowers:

• Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.

• Swish the flowers lightly in the water and rinse under cool running water.

• Let them air dry completely before returning them to their vase.

Note: Always test a small section first, especially with dyed or silk petals.

3. AVOID SUNLIGHT AND MOISTURE

While artificial flowers don’t wilt, they are not invincible.

• Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.

• Avoid placing them in damp or humid areas, such as bathrooms or outdoor spaces, as moisture can damage delicate materials.

FAux Flowers by Flower Addict are designed for indoor use only—please avoid outdoor or wet areas for best longevity.

4. FLUFF AND STYLE THEM OCCASIONALLY

Over time, artificial flower stems and petals may shift or flatten. Gently reshaping them restores their natural look.

To style:

• Bend wired stems to create a more dynamic arrangement.

• Separate petals and fluff leaves to give each bloom breathing room.

• Rearrange your display seasonally to keep things feeling fresh.

5. STORE SMARTLY BETWEEN USES

If you rotate your artificial flowers throughout the year, proper storage is key.

• Wrap each bouquet in tissue paper or bubble wrap.

• Store upright in a clean, dry box or container.

• Keep them in a cool, dark place to prevent colour fade.

LONG-LASTING BEAUTY, MINIMAL EFFORT

One of the best things about artificial flowers is that they require only a fraction of the care of fresh blooms, yet they bring just as much joy. With just a bit of TLC, your artificial flowers will stay gorgeous for years to come.
