Wolfen 🐺For leaf shine i use 2 cups lukewarm water, 3 drops of white vinegar (not more than like 1/4tsp), 2 drops of Castille Peppermint dish soap (doesn't matter what kind, could be dawn, etc too), and a few drops of coconut oil. Then I spray on and use microfiber gloves from Amazon to rub it all over.

Ohh and ideally do it at night, midday, or turn the lights off, as the oil can cause a burn from refraction if it's then set under bright light. I usually just do this routine at night, like once a month to remove any dustiness

SueBBe very careful if using Dawn. It is not a soap but is a detergent. It can damage leaves.

SunnyVinegar and water. I use roughly 1/4 cup vinegar to 3/4 cup water. I apply it gently with a soft cloth to avoid bruising the leaves and vines of my hoyas. I may have to apply it twice. Many of my plants like the Hoya Potsii in the photo come from Florida. The hard water stains are covered with a layer of fine sand that can act as an abrasive. I have to wash off the sand before wiping the chalky spots.
