How to use UV Protection Spray on your Artificial Plants.

Artificial plants are a fantastic way to add greenery to your home, office, or garden without the hassle of maintenance. However, just like our skin needs protection from harmful UV rays, so do these faux botanicals. Enter our UV protection spray - a secret weapon to keep your artificial plants looking fresh and vibrant. Here’s everything you need to know:

Why UV Protection Matters:

  • Colour Preservation: Artificial plants, especially those placed near windows, can fade over time due to exposure to sunlight. UV rays break down dyes and pigments, leading to dullness.
  • Shape Retention: UV resistant plants maintain their shape and structure, ensuring they look lifelike for years.
  • Non Toxic and Odour Free: Safe for children and animals to be around plants after application. 

Benefits of using UV Protection Spray on Artificial Plants:

  • Year Round Greenery: UV treated plants stay green regardless of the season.
  • No Yellowing or Fading: Say goodbye to leaves losing their vibrancy.
  • Heat Resistance: Prevents cracking due to sun exposure.
  • Dust Minimisation: UV protection can help reduce dust build up.

Application:

  • Choose the Right Spray: Use our UV protection spray that is specifically designed for artificial plants.
  • Clean Plant: Remove dust, oil, grease from surface, making sure its completely dry.
  • Patch Test First: We cannot guarantee it will suit all materials. 
  • Spray Evenly: Apply the spray evenly to all parts of the plant, including leaves and stems. Apply outdoors and away from wind. Allow to completely dry.
  • Spreading Rate: 10-15m² per litre.
  • Indoor and Outdoor Use: UV spray works for both indoor and outdoor artificial plants, so protect your plants wherever they reside.
  • Storage Conditions: Store at room temperature with tightly sealed lid. Do not drink or consume. Do not spray on people or animals.

Continued Care:

  • Regular Dusting: Use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use our Artificial Plant Cleaner to prevent damage.
  • Reapply every 6 months: If artificial plants are continuously in full sun, you will need to reapply every 6 months to maximise protection. 

    Remember, UV protection spray not only shields your artificial plants but also simplifies your life - no watering, no allergies! So go ahead, let your green thumb flourish, even if it’s artificial.
