Artificial flowers tend to lose their shape and colour if you store it for a really long time. But you don’t have to throw away those old flowers. There are ways to restore the look of these flowers using some simple steps. To do that, you have to first clean the flowers. To scrub the dust off, put them in a bag of salt and shake for a few minutes. This itself will do half of the work. You can then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the remaining dust. Then wipe the flower with a soft damp cloth. You can finally dry the flowers using the hot air from a hairdryer.
