pinch off stems?

Hi, is it ok to pinch or snip off the stems of flowers once the petals have all dropped? They're ugly, & they take forever to shrivel.

Also, is it ok to cut off a leaf that has died, even if the stem is still fat and unshriveled? I'm particularly concerned about my Gehrtiis, which are doing great but have a couple of ugly dead leaves.

Thanks!
