# Are there any tips to getting water stains off your plants? I brought…

Are there any tips to getting water stains off your plants? I brought this plant from a store assuming with some water they would come off but they keep coming back. Does anyone know a way to make them go away, will they just naturally go away, or they are stuck there forever. I few of my other plants also have them but his one is the most visible

I don't know, but just thought I'd ask if you use filtered water to clean off?

Makes me think that the water might be "hard water." Just like the other person mentioned, I'd wonder what you're cleaning it off with. They will not stay forever, no. You can take a damp paper towel and wipe the leaves gently. Plants like this are supposed to have their leaves "dusted" once every few weeks. My peace lilies looked like that as well, and with proper cleaning them off and watering at the base instead of over top, I got the marks to go away. You could try that, too! Hope that helps some.

Garlic water?

Try a combo of vinegar and water 1/2 with 1/2 then wipe the leaves

Add lemon to warm water… helps fight mineral buildup from water

I use neem oil and water in a spray bottle to clean my leafs, you can also buy a leaf shine spray

You have lots of great suggestions here, but in case you need one more: rain water is mildly acidic, so if the stains are indeed from water-borne minerals, rain water could help to remove them gently.
