How to Make Tree Cleanup Easier
Choose unflocked
Flocking and tinsel create most of the sweeping.
Fewer plugs
Connected poles or cordless sections mean fewer plugs to undo.
Store smart
A labeled bag sized to your tree speeds next year’s setup.
Use a basket or pot
Rigid bases wipe clean faster than fabric skirts.
