flag A TikTok trend urges Americans to clean Christmas trees for hygiene, though experts say it’s unnecessary for most.

flag A viral TikTok trend has led many Americans to wash their Christmas trees—both real and artificial—before decorating, citing hygiene and allergy concerns. flag Users share videos of spraying or soaking trees to remove dust, dirt, and potential insects like aphids. flag While experts say such pests are typically harmless and unlikely to survive indoors, some households adopt the practice to reduce allergens, especially for those with asthma. flag Shaking real trees outdoors is often sufficient, and artificial trees may benefit from cleaning if dusty, but pre-lit versions should not be submerged. flag The trend reflects a broader focus on home wellness during the holidays, though washing is not considered necessary by most experts.
