The best way I have found to clean plant leaves and leave a nice shine. 1:1 water/milk. I kid you not, and no, there is no smell.  
Both the ZZ and Maranta came with significant leaf issues from the big box stores. Perry the Maranta would always look dull no matter what. Zed the ZZ had serious ugly water spots nothing seemed to tackle. They both got wiped down today and 90% of the water spots are gone on Zed and Perry looks shiny. Very satisfied.

Interesting! What made you try that mix?

I usually use super diluted vinegar water and a microfiber cloth and it keeps them clean, but not super shiny

I saw a vid on YouTube called something to the effect of 28 secrets of houseplant care your gramma used to use. Im all about tried and true old wisdom, so I thought I would try it!
