Easy Alternatives for Silk Plant Cleaners
Salt
One of the first alternatives for silk plant cleaners is salt. Salt is gentle on your plant, but still abrasive enough to get rid of the dust on the plants. All you have to do is put the plant in a paper bag filled with a lot of salt and shake it thoroughly. Then you just remove the plant and get rid of the excess salt and the plant should be free of dust.
Water
You can also use water as an alternative for silk plant cleaners. One way you can use water is to put your plant in the bathtub and run water over it. Afterwards, you just take it outside and let it air dry. If you don’t want to use your bathtub, you can just just take your plant outside and use your garden hose to wash the dust away.
Soap
Although plain water will get the job done, soapy water will get the job done much better. You should use a mild soap in combination with the water. The plant should be soaked in the sink or bathtub for at least an hour. After soaking, you will need to rinse the plant with water to remove any excess soap that is still on the plant. You will need to let it air dry after you have rinsed it.
Air
Another alternative for silk plant cleaners is compressed air. If you have an aerosol can of compressed air, you can use it to blast the dust off of your plant. If you don’t have compressed air, you can use a blow dryer instead. If you use a blow dryer, you need to be careful that you don’t get too close to the plant. If you do, you may overheat it and cause it to lose its shape.
These are a few easy alternatives for silk plant cleaners. The simply way is to use water in your sink or bathtub to remove any dust on the plants. You can also put the plant in a paper bag filled with salt and shake it thoroughly to clean it. If you have a can of compressed air or a blow dryer, you can also use them as an alternative for silk plant cleaners.
