There are two types of maintenance for artificial trees, routine and semiannually. I'll first discuss routine maintenance. All plants, real and fake collect dust. The simple solution is to take a common feather duster. Gently dust the leaves. If you have left this for a long time you may want to do this outside. If the dust build up is heavy you may want to use compressed air (this is sold canned or you can use a air compressor. If you use compressed air, do not get to close. Start from the top of the tree and work your way to the bottom of the foliage. This should take care of most of the maintenance an artificial tree will need.

Generally dusting is what most people do to care for their artificial trees. Added care will depend on the environment the tree is in and the size of the tree. It is also a consideration of how closely the tree can be inspected. In many settings, the trees will only require an occasional dusting.

If your tree is in an area where it can be inspected closely, a more thorough cleaning may be needed.

Once or twice a year you may want to do a more thorough cleaning with water. Make sure that you have your fake tree on a cemented area like a patio or a driveway and is near a water hose. Take some plastic and wrap the base so the water does not fill your container. If you have a spray nozzle on your hose, you're in good shape, if not, just make sure that you spray the water at your artificial plant rather than dousing it. Gently spray your plant thoroughly with the hose (again not to close), and when you're done, shake the artificial tree or plant lightly to get most of the water off.

It is best to avoid using harsh cleaners on any artificial plant. If the plant has something on it that requires a robust cleaner, it is best to remove a leaf and spot test the cleaner on that before using. Most artificial plants are made of polyblend fabrics that are screen printed so consider that when you are selecting a cleaner. There are artificial plant cleaning products in the world and they seem to work fine for everyday dust and dirt.
