Get your faux plants looking new again with this easy homemade cleaner.
Updated: May 18
If you have any type of artificial plant, this super simple homemade spray will clean and have them looking new again.
I have several artificial plants inside and out and this works for really dirty ones.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
● 1/2 cup water
● 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol
● Spray bottle
● Microfiber cloth
Mix ingredients in spray bottle and shake gently before each spray.
Simply spray the artificial plant leaves you want to clean then buff with a microfiber cloth. That’s it!
For a more powerful clean, dampen the cloth before scrubbing.
Another common household ingredient for cleaning faux plants is vinegar, but I have used vinegar and rubbing alcohol for all the artificial plants at my house.
Rubbing alcohol cleans better and removes more dirt. It also provided more of a shine to the leaves!
