I have a few fake flower arrangements made of cloth material flowers. I'd like to clean them. I'd hate to have to go out and buy new ones. They are soo expensive. Any suggestions?

Fill kitchen sink with hot soapy water. Dunk and swirl entire arrangement in the water until all dust is removed, (for two minutes) Set on to its side to dry on a clean towel. When dry, fluff.

Don't use hot water, it will cause the glue to turn loose. Use warm water and a couple drops of Dawn dish soap. Add a cup of white vinegar. The vinegar cuts the soap so it will not leave a "sticky" residue that will attract dust. Swish the flowers, rinse with cold waters and lay the on a towel until dry. Clean mine like this all the time.

I have cleaned mine many times with a quick and simple method. I fill my sink with hot water and a squirt of dishwashing machine soap. I dip the flowers in and give them a swirl. within a minute they are clean and brightened
