How do you clean large artificial plants?

Question

I have a lot of really large plants which I bought last year but now they look really dusty. Is there an easy way to clean them or do I have to wipe them leaf by leaf. They are quite heavy..

Answer 1

There's a spray that you can get at craft stores that clean dried arrangements. You just spray it on and the dust is gone - it's amazing. Not sure of the exact name, but I bet if you ask for spray to clean dried floral arrangements they'll know what you mean.

Answer 2

There are a couple ways you could go about it.  If you really want them clean, or is there is a greasy residue on the leaves in addition to dry dust, you will probably have to go one leaf at a time.  Now, if you can put them in the shower or under the hose, this will save a lot of time.  It really depends on the "pot" the plants are in.  There are some things you just can't get wet.  I'd try the shower though, especially since you can lean the top part into the shower and leave the pot out.  

Answer 3

It would be best if you did it leaf by leaf use a damp cloth, (not a soaking wet one) and gently rub them one by one holding the under side of the leaf in your other hand so you don't break them.

Answer 4

Swiffer duster all the way!!!!!!! It realllly works

Also, my parents did this one year...They took 3 of our artificial plants into the backyard and hosed them off and let them dry in the sun. Works reallllly well :)
