Why Florists Love Floral Shield Spray
Some of the many benefits include:
- Two-in-One Power: Cleans and disinfects in one quick step.
- Easy to Use: Spray, wait 30 seconds, and wipe—no mixing or rinsing.
- Highly Effective: Kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses on contact.
- Time-Saving: Faster than scrubbing with bleach; no harsh fumes or damage.
- Safe on Flowers: No harmful residue.

Why does this matter? Because bacteria are one of the leading causes of premature flower deterioration. Reducing bacterial growth means better water uptake, healthier stems, and longer-lasting arrangements.
How Do You Keep Flowers Fresh in a Florist?
Keeping flowers fresh requires a multi-prong approach:
- Clean Everything: Buckets, tools, benches, vases —all cleaned regularly with Floral Shield.
- Avoid Bacteria: Use disinfectant that prevents buildup before it starts.
- Cool Storage: Store blooms in a cool, humid space (ideally 4–7°C).
- Re-cut Stems: Every few days for better water uptake.
- Remove Waste: Old water, leaves, and wilting blooms contribute to bacteria.
How to Clean Buckets
Simplify cleaning buckets with Floral Shield Spray:
- Rinse out any leftover water and debris.
- Spray Floral Shield around the interior and rim.
- Let it sit for 30 seconds.
- Wipe clean—no scrubbing needed.
- Your buckets are now sanitised, deodorised, and ready for fresh stems.
Why Do Florists Use Bleach?
Bleach has long been used to disinfect vases and buckets—but it’s not ideal. It’s harsh, has a strong smell, can damage tools, and isn't safe for all surfaces or flower types.
Floral Shield offers a safer, florist-friendly alternative:
- No mixing
- No damage
- No lingering odour
- Safer for people and petals
Compare and See the Difference
Try this simple switch in your routine: clean your buckets with Floral Shield instead of traditional bleach or soap. You’ll quickly notice the difference—your water stays clearer for longer, stems show fewer signs of bacterial blockage, and your flowers remain fresher and firmer. It’s a small change that delivers big results in presentation and longevity.
Frequency of Use
For optimal freshness and hygiene, use Floral Shield daily on work surfaces and every few days on buckets, tools, and vases. Regular use helps establish a consistent cleaning routine while forming a protective, bacteria-free shield across your workspace. This shield reduces the spread of harmful microbes that shorten flower life, supporting longer-lasting blooms and a cleaner, more professional studio environment.
