Springtime cleaning tip

Artificial flowers and greenery inside a house will collects dust and dirt over the winter. To clean, pour some salt into a paper or plastic bag, add the flowers or greenery and shake vigorously for a couple of minutes. The salt will remove dirt and absorb dust leaving the flowers and greenery looking clean and fresh.

  1. Be careful when using a plastic bag. The sharp ends of greenery can tear the bag and you may shake salt out of these openings. I know this from experience!

  2. Wish I had known this great tip before I took apart several floral arrangements and washed and dried each piece by hand!
