Cleaning Your House Plants

I read an article about cleaning your house plants leaves with something special awhile back. Would anybody remember? I usually keep all of the articles, but I have lost this one. Thanks for any feedback!

Water is the best thing to use. Spray thoroughly then wipe off with a damp cloth. A piece of an old T-shirt works well. Anything greasy like mayonaise or sticky like a banana peel will just attract more dust sooner. Mother Nature uses water to clean all her plants. How can you improve on that!

Banana skins are really good for this. Fruit side to leaf.

I don't remember reading about this in ThriftyFun but ages ago, during the 1950's people used to put a little mayo on a cloth and dust their potted vines such as pothos, philodendron, etc.
