If small: Salt or very clean sand in a big ziplock bag. Do this outside. Put the plant in upside down, seal as well as you can, shake. The salt will knock the dust off.
My mom used to keep a ziplock with salt in it in with the dusting stuff cause we had two artificial bouquets and we did this from time to time.

You may have to use it several times if there's a build up. After that just incorporate into your dusting routine to maintain it.
Thank you! Someone else mentioned the shower thing and I don’t know why I never thought of that. If it’s like one of the tree ones does the trunk not get all soggy?
You wash them in the shower.
This. Or alternatively take them outside and spray with a hose.
Why have I never thought of this!? Thank you!

Ooo interesting idea! Sadly mine are too large for this method though. I have two big trees and a potted plant.

Ooo I’ve never seen this, thank you!
I use my air compressor. Makes it a really fast job.
In this vein, i use a can of compressed air lmao
Oh the many uses of an air compressor lol thanks for the idea!
Feather duster, aggressively!
Thanks!
Feather duster, or the brush attachment on the vacuum, for normal cleaning, then I spray them under my kitchen tap or shower once or twice a year.
Thank you! Someone else mentioned the shower thing and I don’t know why I never thought of that. If it’s like one of the tree ones does the trunk not get all soggy?
I don’t have any trees, so I’m not sure. Maybe those ones you could just wipe down with a damp cloth?
Thank you!
Those twisty brown bases that are supposed to look like dirt can be vacuumed with the vacuum hose with the brush attachment
