Tips on how to clean artificial hedges

Artificial hedges often provide your space with a relaxing, vibrant look. With time passing by, they may accumulate a layer of dust and suffer from spiders. Although plastic hedge products don’t require much maintenance, like any other surface indoors or outdoors, they need some regular cleaning to look their best.

Indoor Cleaning

Step 1 Prepare the following cleaning tools.

Feather duster

Two soft microfiber or cotton cloths

Mild detergent or gentle dish soap 

Spray bottle

Step 2 Dust the artificial hedges

Use a feather duster to remove dust and spider webs from the surface of artificial hedges.

Step 3 Further clean the artificial hedges

As for some tough dirt, grime, oil that you cannot easily wiping away by the feather duster, you need to choose non-abrasive materials to do a further cleaning.

• Add a small amount of a mild detergent to lukewarm clean water
• Fill the spray bottle with the water
• Spray one soft cloth and gently scrub the foliage and panels
• Rinse the residue away with clean, cool water
• Dry it with another clean cloth

Outdoor Cleaning

When it comes to how to clean outdoor artificial hedges for privacy and landscaping, it gets much easier.

• Choose a warm day
• Carefully adjust the hose nozzle to spray. If the pressure is too low, it may take more time and energy to get the job done. If the pressure is too high, artificial hedges may get damaged and it will also cause a waste of both water and money.
• Spray foliage and panels from all directions thoroughly to remove dust and spiders.
• Gently shake off the excess water.
• Allow them to dry naturally.
