Cut flowers need a little maintenance now and then to survive. To keep an arrangement fresh and attractive, you should first clean your vase to eliminate harmful bacteria. Scrub it with a mixture of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water; rinse. After you've set the bouquet in the vase, if the water gets cloudy, remove the blooms, scrub the vase again, and replace the flowers.
Okay...to those who just HAVE to be amazingly critical people...there ARE those of us who don't know everything! I appreciated this, because some of the simplest solutions for stuff are the most unknown. Sites and blogs would be MUCH more enjoyable if people would BE NICER!
I had said that the tip of the day was lame at best. I think this was the laziest tip I have ever seen! I mean wash the vase and make sure your water is kept clean? Like, duh?!?!? I thought this was just common sense??? How about a concoction of sugar and vinegar? Anybody research this?
I already made a comment....but I see you only post favourable comments and not criticisms?!
I HATE having to delete an ad before I can look at ANY of the "Day's Ideas", recipes, etc.
