Good Monday morning, everyone! Here's today's tip!

Wondering how to clean your silk flower arrangement? Pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously. The salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new!

This tip works great!!! I had some silk plants here in Florida that got all dusty and my girlfriend and I wrapped each one inside a garbage bag with salt and shook the bejezis out of them. They looked brand new afterwards!! Not a speck of dust left on them anywhere!

PJ8...go tell your skin shedding story on my thread from yesterday.... lolololol I made mention of it... hehehe

Salt? What a great idea. I wonder if white beach sand would work the same way or if it is something unique in the salt.

Glory, I'm not postive, but I think there's a chemical reaction between the salt and the dust... but I'll try beach sand next time, out of curiosity!
