Care & Maintenance

Silk arrangements, plant displays and speciality designs will collect dry dust over time. This can be removed easily with a feather duster or hair dryer (on low setting). Aerosol cleaners are available (see accessories) and do a great job of cleaning light dust and enhancing flowers and foliage. Cleaning is recommended on average between 3-4 months for normal environments. Corporate clients may need to clean displays every month to maintain pristine condition.
