The Ultimate Artificial Plant Care Guide

Artificial plants are the ultimate decor hack—no watering, no sunlight, just gorgeous greenery that always looks fresh. But even the low-maintenance charm of faux plants can fall victim to dust buildup over time.

The good news? A quick clean will restore their vibrancy and keep them looking their best. Plus, it helps freshen up your space and improve air quality. ☀️ 

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Artificial Plants

1. Dust Regularly

Grab a microfibre cloth, feather duster, or a can of compressed air (so satisfying) and gently evict the dust from your plants. Don’t forget the sneaky nooks and crannies.

2. Wipe Down Leaves and Stems

For a deeper clean, lightly dampen a cloth and give those leaves and stems a once-over. But no soaking - fake plants and too much water are not a match, especially the silk ones.

3. Tackle Stubborn Grime with a Plant Cleaning Pad

For a truly polished look, use a dedicated plant cleaning pad like our cute little Plantish Pad. This eco-friendly tool is designed specifically for cleaning artificial plants, making it easier to remove stubborn dust and grime without damaging delicate leaves or finishes. Plantish’s cleaning pad is gentle yet effective, and it’s reusable, making it a sustainable choice for keeping your faux greenery spotless - yay!

Tips for Long-Term Maintenance

• Choose the Right Location: To minimise dust buildup, place artificial plants away from high-traffic areas or vents that blow air or debris.
• Rotate Your Plants: Occasionally switch up their location to ensure even exposure to light and air, which helps them maintain a natural appearance.
• Store Seasonally: If you use artificial plants seasonally, store them in a clean, dry space covered with a plastic bag or sheet to prevent dust accumulation.
