Home Safe UV Spray for Artificial Greenery
Ultra Realistic Artificial Plants
Designer Plants Five Key Technologies
UVTex inhibitors are bonded within the leaf during manufacture on outdoor-rated products, and this range exists for greenery that was never made that way. The Home Safe spray works from the surface instead, adding UV protection to existing artificial plants and outdoor furniture in 250ml and 1 litre sizes.
Extending the Life of Existing Artificial Greenery with UV Spray
Greenery that was bought for indoors and then moved outside is the most common reason people go looking for UV spray for artificial plants. The Home Safe UV protection spray adds a protective layer to foliage and outdoor furniture that was never built with inhibitors in the leaf. It comes in a 250ml bottle at $62.95 and a 1 litre size at $185, alongside the Eco-Home Safe cleaner in 250ml and 1 litre. This collection also carries the install accessories that go with a greenery project.
Choosing between 250ml and 1 litre
The 250ml size suits a handful of pots, a hanging basket or a small balcony arrangement. The 1 litre size is the practical choice for a wall of panels, a full balcony run or a maintenance round across several sites, where decanting from one bottle beats buying a dozen small ones. Coverage depends on how dense the foliage is, so allow more for a packed fern than for an open stem.
Clean first, then apply
Dust and pollen sitting on a leaf will trap under anything applied over the top, so a wash with the Eco-Home Safe cleaner first is worth the extra step. Apply in a shaded spot rather than in direct sun, and follow the directions on the product label for coats and drying. Reapplication is a maintenance task, not a one-off.
What the spray does and does not do
It slows fading on greenery that has no UV protection built in. It is not the same as a product with UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf during manufacture, and it will not turn interior stock into an outdoor-rated specimen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does UV spray for artificial plants actually do?
It adds a protective layer on the surface of the leaf that slows the breakdown of pigment under ultraviolet light. That is different from an outdoor-rated product, where inhibitors are bonded within the leaf material during manufacture and cannot be washed away. The spray is the retrofit answer for greenery that has no protection at all.
Can UV spray stop fake plants fading outdoors?
It slows fading rather than stopping it. Fake plants and artificial plants made for interiors have no inhibitors in the leaf, so once they sit in full sun the colour goes and the leaf edge turns brittle. The Home Safe spray buys time on greenery already in place, but a product built with UVTex inhibitors is the answer where something has to live outdoors permanently.
Should the 250ml or the 1 litre size be chosen?
The 250ml bottle at $62.95 suits a few pots, a hanging basket or a small balcony. The 1 litre at $185 is the sensible choice for a wall of panels, a full balcony run or repeat maintenance visits. Dense foliage such as a packed fern uses noticeably more than an open stem arrangement.
Is the Home Safe UV spray safe to use around the house?
It is formulated for use at home on artificial plants and outdoor furniture, which is where the Home Safe name comes from. Apply it in a shaded, ventilated spot rather than in direct sun, and follow the directions on the product label for coats and drying time before the item goes back into service.
Do artificial plants need cleaning before UV spray is applied?
Yes. Dust, pollen and cooking film sitting on the leaf will be sealed under anything applied over the top, which shows as a dull patchy finish. The Eco-Home Safe cleaner in 250ml at $28.95 or 1 litre at $44.95 handles the wash-down, and the foliage should be dry before the spray goes on.
Is UV spray a substitute for buying UV resistant artificial plants?
No, and it is worth being clear about the difference. Outdoor artificial plants carry UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf, which is a manufacturing step the spray cannot replicate. Use the spray to protect greenery already owned, and the outdoor range for anything being bought for a permanent outdoor position.
What else is in this collection besides the UV spray?
The Eco-Home Safe artificial plant cleaner in 250ml and 1 litre, dry floral foam bricks at 23cm x 11cm x 8cm supplied 20 to a pack and made without formaldehyde, and Designer Guard anti-climb fence spikes at 125cm covering 12.5 metres across a 12 piece pack. It is the accessories and consumables shelf for a greenery project.
Can the UV spray be used on outdoor furniture as well as plants?
Yes, the product is made for artificial plants and outdoor furniture, which is why it is often ordered alongside a balcony or alfresco refresh. The same rules apply on furniture: clean the surface first, work in the shade, and follow the label. Questions on a specific surface can go to 1800 617 341.

Commercial Grade. Made for Lasting Impact.
Maintenance rounds across a portfolio of sites are where surface UV protection earns its place, particularly on greenery that was inherited with a tenancy rather than specified new.
The 1 litre size for rounds. A single 1 litre bottle covers a maintenance visit across multiple installations, which is simpler to carry and to reorder than a tray of small bottles.
Paired with the cleaner. The Eco-Home Safe cleaner in 250ml and 1 litre handles the wash-down step, so one visit covers clean and protect rather than two.
Install accessories in the same order. Dry floral foam bricks at 23cm x 11cm x 8cm and anti-climb fence spikes covering 12.5 metres per pack sit in this collection, so the consumables side of a project ships together.
