Crochet Bouquet Care Guide
Keeping Your Crochet Bouquet Beautiful
The care steps below reflect what we have tried — follow them and your blooms will stay beautiful.
Dust & Light Surface Cleaning
Light dust is the most common thing your bouquet will encounter. We recommend:
- Soft dusting: Use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush (such as a clean makeup brush or pastry brush) to gently sweep dust off petals and stems once every few weeks, or as needed.
- Compressed air: A short burst of canned air held at least 20 cm away can shift dust from tighter loops without disturbing the shape.
- Lint roller (light pressure): A single, gentle roll along larger flat petals lifts lint and pet hair effectively.
Always work in the direction of the stitches — from stem toward petal tip — to avoid distorting loops.
Storage
- Keep your bouquet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can gradually fade yarn colours, even on lightfast fibres.
- Store upright in a vase or lay flat in a box with tissue paper loosely supporting the shape. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.
- Avoid airtight plastic bags for long-term storage — yarn breathes better with a little airflow.
- If displaying long-term, a glass cloche or display box is ideal for keeping dust out while letting the piece be seen.
Humidity & Environment
- Singapore's humidity is generally safe for our yarns, but avoid placing bouquets directly next to air-conditioning vents (which can dry fibres over time) or in very damp corners such as bathrooms.
- Do not leave bouquets in areas with high heat — such as inside a car on a sunny day or near a stove — as heat can relax stiffening and alter the bouquet's shape.
Sprays & Scents
- Do not spray perfume, fabric freshener, or starch directly onto the bouquet. The alcohol and solvents in these products can stain or weaken yarn fibres.
- If you want a light scent, place a small sachet of dried petals or cedar near (not touching) the bouquet.
Washing — Not Suitable
Do not wash or submerge your crochet bouquet. Our bouquets incorporate internal wire armatures, stiffening treatments, and mixed-fibre yarns that are not compatible with wet cleaning. Water can cause:
- Rusting of internal wire supports
- Loss of shape due to stiffening dissolving
- Colour bleeding between yarns
- Distortion of delicate petals that will not return to their original form
Spot cleaning with a barely damp cotton swab on an inconspicuous area is the maximum we recommend — and only for a specific visible mark, not as general cleaning.
Damage & Concerns
If your bouquet arrives damaged or develops a structural issue, please refer to our Refund Policy for guidance on reporting and next steps. We stand behind the quality of every piece we make and will do our best to help.
