Here is a tip for you people that love to have flowers in your home but can not maintain them so you get the artificial kind. I actually have a few artificial arrangements in my place and I really like them. I prefer the fresh real flowers but these last a lot longer. However they do get quite dusty and dirty at times. So, what you do is take a bag and fill it with water and 1/4 cup of salt or put it in a bowl. Then put the flowers in and shake it around in the bag or swish it around in the bowl and it will coming out looking as good as the day you bought it!
