Caring for Your Wreath:
Use a blow dryer (set on a low setting) from time to time to remove any dust. Because deco mesh has been cut, it is normal to notice fray strings. Just clip them off with scissors. Handle your wreath as little as possible to prevent fraying. Hang your wreath on a door that is shaded & covered with an awning or porch to avoid damage from rain and sun. If left out in direct sunlight for long periods of time, your deco mesh wreath may start to fade. Your deco mesh wreath will last longer and fade less if kept out of the elements. These wreaths do well outside but they should be under an overhang, such as a covered porch. Also, direct sunlight, especially in warmer climates, may loosen the glue that is used to secure attachments to the wreath. I do not recommend spraying your wreath with anything to prevent fading. These sprays may make your wreath appear dull or alter the colors.
Storing Your Wreath:
First, be sure the wreath is completely dry before storing to lessen the risk of mildew. Replace in original box. If original box is not available, cover with a trash bag, put a hanger through the top rung of the wire frame and hang it in a closet. Keep in mind that extreme heat can cause the hot glue to melt and embellishments to melt or break off. If this happens, use hot glue to reattach the embellishments. Do not store anything on top of the box that could crush your wreath.
