Routine Cleaning
Regular light cleaning prevents dust and debris buildup, keeping your installation looking fresh. The frequency depends on your environment—indoor spaces typically need less frequent attention than outdoor or high-traffic areas.
- Dust regularly with a soft cloth, duster, or soft-bristle brush
- Clean from top to bottom to prevent re-depositing dust
- For light soiling, use a damp cloth with mild soap solution
- Allow to air dry completely before any deep cleaning
Deep Cleaning
Occasionally, a more thorough cleaning may be needed, especially for installations in kitchens, near ventilation, or in dusty environments.
Do
- Use mild soap and lukewarm water
- Test cleaning solution on small area first
- Use soft cloths or sponges
- Allow to dry completely
Don't
- Use harsh chemicals or bleach
- Apply abrasive scrubbers
- Soak electrical components
- Use excessive water pressure
Outdoor Care
Outdoor installations face different challenges: weather, UV exposure, and environmental debris. Products designed for outdoor use are built to handle these conditions, but some care extends their appearance.
- Rinse with garden hose to remove dust, pollen, and light debris
- Inspect mounting hardware periodically for weather wear
- Clear debris that may accumulate at the base or in crevices
Common Issues
Most issues with artificial greenery are easy to address with simple maintenance.
- Dust buildup: Regular dusting prevents this. For heavy buildup, use damp cloth cleaning.
