Cleaning dusty flower arrangement

I have a bunch of beautiful (and very realistic 
) fake roses.
They've become dusty and I'd like to spruce them up
They're made from fabric, so washing isn't an option.
Any ideas anyone? TIA :A

Blow with a hairdryer to remove excess dust and then place in a bag with some salt and shake. This will scrub the ground in dust off then brush the remaining dust and salt off with a soft brush.0

You can clean things with crisps now? It never ceases to amaze me just how versatile OSers are.
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -

That's a great idea. My wedding bouquet is made of artificial flowers and they're a little dusty. I had thought of using a make up brush (clean, obviously!) but a hairdryer does make sense. Thanks!

At a place I used to work, they had fake trees which were really badly covered in dust... So, when I was alone, I took them outside and thrashed them against a brick wall It had the desired effect and they were sturdy fakes so didn't damage...much. Thank goodness!!!
