Extend the life of your flowers: The importance of clean tools and storage

For wholesalers, maintaining the freshness and longevity of flowers isn’t just about sourcing quality blooms—it starts with cleanliness. Dirty buckets, scissors, and storage units can become breeding grounds for bacteria, significantly reducing flower vase life. In fact, a study by the Society of American Florists found that bacteria in water can cut vase life by up to 50%.

To keep your flowers at their best, adopt these simple but essential cleaning habits:

✅ Wash buckets, tools, and storage shelves with warm soapy water and a disinfectant solution before every use.
✅ Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue that could contaminate flowers.
✅ Always use clean water mixed with flower food to create a healthy environment for blooms.

At The Flower Hub, we follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure that every flower you receive arrives in pristine condition.
