A gentle clean for dusty leaves
Keep foliage fresh with a soft cloth and a little patience.

Dust can settle on broad leaves over time. A gentle clean helps keep them looking their best and gives you a chance to check for changes or pests while you are close by.
Support each leaf with one hand and wipe its surface softly with a clean, damp cloth. Work slowly and avoid rough rubbing or household leaf-shine products, which can damage delicate foliage.
Plants with very small, fuzzy or fragile leaves may not suit wiping. For those, use a soft brush or follow care guidance for that plant. A little regular attention is better than a forceful clean.
