It’s that time of year again when we are thinking about packing away the Christmas tree for another year. If you have an artificial tree, the tree is probably dusty and could do with a clean before you pack it away.

There are a few different ways to clean your tree. Here are some tips:

1. You could gently vacuum the branches.

2. You could use a leaf blower to blow off the dust

3. You could hose down your tree (leaving it to dry before packing away)

I did a quick vacuum of mine before I packed it away and I think it will need another clean when I unpack it next year.

  • I blow any dust away with the hairdryer set on cool and, as mine has permanent Star decorations, I give them a wipe over with a very lightly damp cloth.

  • I haven’t cleaned my tree before although I store it in the ceiling so better to do it before I put it up

  • Our tree is still standing by lack of time to take it down…and when I take it down I’ll give it a little shake on the most and then straight in the box ;)

  • I actually never thought to clean the tree before packing away. Silly of me. Hose or leaf blower seems the best for us I think. Will make sure I start doing this now

  • I wipe mine down with a wet rag soaked in mild detergent, but we usually pack away the tree around mid- January.
