Why Are Flocked Artificial Christmas Trees Prone to Yellowing?
Flocking Christmas trees requires knowledge of tree type, mixing technique, and mixture. It also requires patience and what you may call trial and error.
It’s a good idea to check if your tree is covered by a warranty before flocking it. Making your own snow may void your Christmas tree warranty, so select a tree that is safe and able to withstand the job.
With a little flock, you can transform an ordinary tree into a stunning display.
Keeping your flocked artificial Christmas tree in good shape is as simple as cleaning and storing it after each holiday season. Protect the tree by preventing dust accumulation.
If your tree becomes discolored during storage, it can still be restored to its natural beauty.
Cleaning a yellowed flocked artificial Christmas tree is made easy with the following tips.
1. Clean your yellowed flocked artificial Christmas tree according to the packaging’s instructions. Alternatively, you may speak to the customer service department of the manufacturer.
2. Allow the yellowed tree to soak up the sun for several hours. The sun can remove subtle stains and restore a tree’s former glory in the case of subtle discoloration. And yeah, summer and spring are the best times to accomplish this.
3. A solution of 3 parts white vinegar and 1 part water sprayed on affected branches may be more effective than sunlight alone. It is best to place the tree in direct sunlight for 12 hours at least. A tree can be restored to its former glory by the sun when it has been stained by subtle discolorations.
And through the reaction of vinegar and sunlight, the branches will be bleached white.
In most cases, the tree’s warranty will be void if it is purposefully altered or misused. So refrain from bleaching while your tree is still under warranty.
When it comes to maintaining the beauty of your flocked artificial Christmas tree, the best step is prevention. It works every now and then for nearly every home decor.
