Loretta I use a blow dryer to dust it off. If it’s heavily soiled Ive stuck it in the shower or outside to hose off. Sometimes I spray a soap spray of dish soap to really clean it. Rinse well
and dry.
I've cleaned mine in the bath tub with dish soap. Fill the tub with a couple inches of warm-hot water, add a few drops of dish soap, shampoo, anything sudsy. Take the fake plant by the stem and immerse up side down and swish it in the suds. Keep swishing until clean. If it is a plastic plant, a spongue may help with any grimey spots. If fabric, a light brushing with an old soft toothbrush can help. Wrap in a used bath towel, take outside and shake off the water holding it by the plant stem. Turn right side up, arrange nicely and place back into its pot or vase.
I dust mine with a Swiffer long handled duster and once a month or so put them in the shower and let the water run over them to clean them. Also, a friend used to put car wax/polish on their fake plants to keep dust off. It did seem to help!
My friend uses Pledge. She claims she doesn't have to dust as often.
Yes I also just dunk them in water. Although I don’t use soap. I just use my fingers to get the grimier parts.
