Things You'll Need
Feather Duster
Spray Bottle
Water
Vinegar
Sunlight
Tip
This method works best when it is warm and sunny outside. If you live in a climate that is cold during the winter, think ahead and clean your tree in the summer. Store your tree in a cool, dry place.
Warning
Never use bleach to spray on your tree. Its chemical properties will damage the branches.
If Christmas rolls around and your fake white Christmas tree looks a little dusty or yellow, you'll want to clean and freshen it up before you decorate. Here are some easy steps to cleaning your fake white Christmas tree.
Cleaning a Fake White Christmas Tree
Step 1
Remove your Christmas tree from storage. Use a feather duster or something similar to remove any dust or particles that may be lingering on the branches from storage.
Step 2
If the tree is not assembled, assemble it. Carry it outside.
Step 3
Fill the empty spray bottle with three parts vinegar and one part water. Shake well to mix.
Step 4
In the sunlight, spray all of the branches of the tree with your vinegar and water solution. Make sure all branches are coated.
Step 5
Leave your tree in the sunlight for at least 12 hours. The sunlight will naturally bleach out the areas where the vinegar and water solution has been sprayed.
Step 6
Once the tree has dried and been cleaned, bring it inside and enjoy.
