  • Dish washing liquid
  • Microfiber cloth

Procedure

  1. For prelit 10-foot artificial Christmas tree, carefully disconnect the light from the power source and remove the light from the tree. (Most Christmas lights are usually detachable – you can also look at for this when purchasing your tree)
  2. After you have removed the lights from your tree, disassemble the tree in sections just as you arranged it. Begin disassembling from the top and work your way down to the last section of the tree.
  3. Now, carefully clean each branch of the tree using the handheld vacuum. This is so as to get rid of the dust particle in each branch.
