    I have a spray bottle with water & rubbing alcohol (can't remember the mix, maybe 50/50?) handy to knock out those clusters before they get too big

    Sounds like thrips. You can use what Taylor suggested but don’t let the spray get on hardwood floors because it’ll strip the floor. Make sure you’re outside when you do it. You can also take Dawn dish soap and mix with water. Apply for a few days. Rinse it off after an hour so that it doesn’t stay on the leaves. Then repeat the next day.
