Care of Silk Flowers
Silk flowers are carefree and will reward you with perfect beauty for years. You just need a weekly dusting with canned air and this will help flowers look new and fresh. If you change the flowers then store the old silk flowers into a protective box so they dont get crushed. Dont ever place your silk flowers in front of direct sunlight because sunlight will fade leaves and flowers. In a large paper grocery bag place one cup of table salt and then gently place your silk flowers in it. The salt works as an abrasive and will scrub the dust from the petals and leaves. Shake the plant gently when removing from the paper bag to remove excess salt. This helps in proper dusting and cleaning of silk flowers.

Weddings, special occasions or just brightening up a dull corner are all great uses for silk flowers. They look even more beautiful in a glass vase, adding a further touch of authencity.
