Dusting house plants

Uh, I cheat, I hang them in the shower and spray them ;)

I use a small spray bottle. filled with water and just spray them that way.

Lol - I wash them in the sink with the sprayer too - you can also buy a water-wax spray to keep dust off of them a little longer. I can't think of the name of it (haven't had house plant for a while because plants come to me to die :) but anyone at a greenhouse or homedepot in the garden center could point you in the right direction!

How bout getting some fake plants. they are so much easier to maintain and keep.

I water them in the sink and shower, but I mean getting the leaves all shiney. Maybe I'm the only weirdo that likes to make the leaves shiney by dusting them (not just removing dust, but adding a gloss to them).
Techie - I like the oxygen real plants put off ;-)

My girlfriend puts a dot of mayonaise on a rag and rubs her leaves with that, it is pretty quick, gives a top notch shine, and she has the most beautiful plants, so I don't think it is harming them but she does "shower' them first to.

I dust my plants of with a banana peel, it gives the plants that extra shine and allows them to stay clean a little longer.

WooHoo - fast and finish w/ a dallop of mayo to keep the shine(thanks ruchele)
