What is the best way to clean silk flower arrangements (roses)?

I just swish mine around in cold soapy water for a couple of minutes, rinse and dry gently in a towel. Actually, I do that for all of my silk flowers.

Reply:I swish mine GENTLY in luke warm water with a little detergent, then you could pat dry GENTLY and if wanted, you could hang upside down to dry thoroughly. Tie the stems together before you start with some string and then you could peg on clothes line by the string. If you dust them often, you wont need to wash them frequently.
Reply:This will probably sound odd but my wife has used an old makeup/blush brush to clean the silk flower arrangement on our dresser. It did a great job.
