I have a water spray with a very tiny bit of soap and I spray and wipe with a microfiber cloth

If it’s a succulent, that could be farina which is natural and produced by the plant as a sunscreen. (My guess is probably not a succulent, but it’s good to know)

i do a microfiber cloth or u can use a sock lowkey and then i have a spray bottle mix with a hint of neem oil and peppermint soap and i spray and wile the leaves obviously just water works as well but i like my neem and soap bc it acts as a great pest preventative and puts my mind at ease about spider mites and other such things taking over my collection.

She said the mayo made the leaves shiny ✨ and it did, but the room smelled a bit like mayo afterwards

Second this, I follow up with a dry cloth to remove moisture afterwards (some plants are more sensitive too it than others, and some like the moisture)
