When should you cut the flowers off of a peace lily plant?

I have a large peace lily that has 4 blooms and more coming out. Should I cut the flowers when they start to turn brown or wait until they totally die?

    As soon as the flower it self dies away. Let the leaves grow. That's what lets them come back next year.

    You can cut them when the flower turns green. The white powder will "sprinkle" off, but I don't think it will harm anything. It's just a bit of a nuisance. The more you cut the flowers, the more they bloom. In fact, you have more blooms than I do and that's wonderful. Mine gets too much sunlight.
