More often than not, it's the mineral deposits from hard water that have to
be removed, not just dust -- that's easy.

Doesn't just a damp cloth and water clean dust and stuff off them?

That's all I use and my leaves are clean..........or are you trying to
clean
off something specific.

I just read in the rec.gardens.orchids archives that many people use
'milk'
to clean their orchid leaves? However, while at least one post claimed
that
there is no smell, another post claimed that as a result the smell can
be
very strong. Hmm. Since I live in a small apartment I don't want the
place
smelling of milk gone bad. Has anyone out here now used milk, and if so,
does it smell or not?

What is the best way to clean/dust leaves in your experience?

Thanks,
Joanna
