We have a small 3 foot artificial tree with built in fiber optic needles. I guess we should have put it in a box or bag. It's been in the attic for several years, and its really dusty/dirty. The light bulb and electrical stuff is in the base. I'm wondering if anyone has cleaned one of these? Can I just hang it upside down, and blast it with a garden hose, being sure not to soak the base? I can wipe the base with a wet rag, but not the needles.
It's not a real costly tree, so if it falls apart, I wont be heartbroken, but before I toss it, I'd like to try to clean it, and use it in the spare room, for guests.
