Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After reading other reviews I knew exactly what to expect and how to proceed. As most people indicated the petals arrived stuck together and with a slight chemical smell. In order to handle both issues I placed the petals in a sink full of warm water along with some clothes detergent. I allowed them to soak for a few minutes and then began the process of pulling the petals a part. Since they were wet I was able to use my thumb and index finger to take them a part easily. Once done taking them a part (approximately 20 min) I placed them all into a pillow case, added a fabric softener sheet and dried on medium heat for approximately 30-40 minutes. The chemical smell, although faint in the beginning, is now non existent. These petals are pretty and will brighten any occasion they are used for.
