“At least with the real trees I can just kill them and buy new.”
LOL! I’ve never thought of that. Somehow I don’t think my real trees get near as much dust as the fake ones. If you find an easy way to clean them let me know. I’ve tried using a spray bottle, dunking them in the sink, but dust still seems to adhere.
Well, I started wiping one leaf at a time with mild soapy water and I guess because the tree has been close to a gas fireplace for ten years (and I never watered it) it is brittle and some of the leaves broke off. So I emailed the stager and told her I was just going to wash them down on the back deck with the hose on sprayer (the wouldn’t survive pressure washer lol) and if they make it, they make it. So I gave them each a good spraying and more leaves dropped from the one that was by the fireplace. The other one held onto its leaves.....must not be a deciduous tree lol.
So the house is completely upside down. Most furniture going into the garage. Downstairs is completely white.....like living in a fridge. Upstairs will be white next week. New carpeting going into two rooms, the rest is hardwood. Mike is pouring concrete on the driveway next week, Natalie is continuing to clean up the yard. Dirt is next, then sod, then nice black mulch around the trees, etc.
I’m not going to want to leave here now that some work has been done and it is looking so nice! Kidding....looking forward to living on the farm, except for that stupid rooster.
Friend of mine used to load ‘em in the back of his pickup truck, take them to the car wash, and spray ‘em off.
