Cleaning a gold spray painted berry and branchwreath

[FDL]

Hello

I have a wreath that has been on the wall for several years and has not been cleaned. It is caked with dust and because of its delicate nature cannot be vacuumed. can it be soaked in soapy water without damaging it?

Thanks

Frank

No. You could try spraying it with canned air. If that doesn't work, try vacuuming very carefully. Otherwise, throw it out.

Wetting the wreath could wreck it. Try dusting with a soft paintbrush or blowing away the dust with a hairdryer on a cool setting, or using canned air (as suggested above).
