Forget this very appreciated decorative object, it is impossible to clean.
In recent years, this decorative object has invaded our interiors, bringing a bohemian and natural touch to our interior. However, if this decoration is aesthetically pleasant, it has a major drawback that few people consider during the purchase: it is a real dust nest, and cleaning it is almost impossible. You may have guessed it, we are talking about dried flowers. Whether in a bouquet or a crown of flowers, these flowers are not as harmless as they seem. They attract dust, are difficult to maintain and potentially harmful to air quality.
If you like dried flowers and you have chosen them because they don’t need maintenance, it’s a received idea. On the contrary, they require regular maintenance and transform your household into a real hassle. Unlike green plants, which can simply be dusted with a damp cloth, the dry bouquets are fragile and do not support too vigorous cleaning.
A simple breath of air can destructure them, and passing them underwater is out of the question. Some recommend using a low-intensity hair dryer or a feather, but often the bouquet does not come out unscathed. Another solution is to clean it flower by flower with a soft brush, but it remains a tedious solution that takes a long time.
Unlike fresh flowers, dried flowers are static and keep their shapes for months, even years. Their porous texture and their many roughness attract and retain dust, which quickly transforms them into a fireplace of allergenic particles. They can also affect the air quality of your interior. Over time, they degrade and release thin particles in the atmosphere. For people sensitive to allergies or suffering from respiratory problems, this decoration can quickly become an invisible enemy.
Fortunately, there are other decorative options to bring a natural touch to your interior without the disadvantages of dried flowers. Green plants, in addition to being aesthetic, purify the air and do not accumulate as much dust. A simple cloth allows you to have dust -free leaves. The bouquets of fresh flowers, although more ephemeral, bring a pleasant perfume and do not need maintenance. Also, compositions in quality artificial flowers can offer an interesting visual rendering while being easier to dust. Finally, for Lego fans, think of the bouquets to build, they are durable and much easier to dust!
