Keeping plant leaves clean isn’t just about looks — it’s vital for health. Dust blocks sunlight, reduces photosynthesis, and attracts pests. A little TLC lets your leafy friends breathe, grow, and glow.
What you need
✔ Dusting Mitt (for gentle dusting)
✔ Universal Cleaner with Atomiser + General Cloth (for dirtier leaves)
✔ Atomiser of plain water (for misting and everyday care)
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Use the Dusting Mitt to lightly dust leaves.
Step 2
If a plant is grimy, lightly spray Universal Cleaner onto your General Cloth (never directly on the leaf) and gently wipe.
Step 3
For everyday care, mist with an Atomiser of plain water to keep leaves fresh and hydrated.
Pro tip
Keep an Atomiser filled with plain water just for your plants — it doubles as hydration and dust control.
Safety first: Use Universal Cleaner sparingly, only as a restorative clean. Always support delicate leaves from behind when wiping to avoid damage.
Other notes
• Fuzzy or hairy leaves (like African violets, sage, or some succulents) shouldn’t be wiped with liquid — instead, use a soft brush, feather duster, or the Dusting Mitt dry.
• For thick, waxy leaves (rubber plants, monstera, fiddle leaf figs), wiping with the inside of a banana peel can give a natural shine. Test on one leaf first.
• For larger or sturdy plants, you can pop them in the shower and rinse gently with lukewarm water. Skip this if soil drainage is poor or the plant hates excess water.
• Avoid commercial “leaf shine” sprays or oils — they clog pores and attract dust rather than preventing it.
• Light dusting weekly is better than rare deep cleans. Consistency prevents grime build-up and keeps plants photosynthesising happily.
