Distilled

You can clean it off easy with a mix of distilled water, isopropyl alcohol, and white vinegar. You want to dilute the alcohol and vinegar by a lot, a couple fl.oz. per quart of water is plenty. Spray spray spray and then wipe it off. If you’re misting your plants for humidity reasons, use distilled only and don’t rely on misting for humidity, it only lasts 5 minutes. Humidifiers or cloches are the only way to keep constant humidity, you can get a 5 pack of huge cloches for like 15$ or a humidifier for 20$  
I have both cloches and a humidifier because some plants need more humidity than the humidifier can keep up. No water stains on my plants, just dog fur.
