DIY leaf cleaning with hand soap bottles

Came up with a #PlantHack for #PlantingOnABudget! โœจ๐Ÿคญ

Cleaning leaves. Iโ€™ve never had a designated โ€œbottleโ€ for my cleaning concoction so I always had to dump out whatever mixture I had in my spray bottle and then make a quick batch to clean leaves. If I had to use my spray bottle for something else, Iโ€™d have to dump out and redo the process over and over again. Iโ€™m done with that ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Iโ€™m a sucker for Bath & Body Works foam hand soap. I love them. I have too many empty bottles that have cute designs and their foaming mechanism works great. Well, WHAT IF I use the hand soap bottles for my leaf cleaning concoction? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคญ

It works AMAZING. I mean, itโ€™s just soapy water so it better work. I mix Water, Dish Dawn soap and a teaspoon of neem oil to clean my leaves โœจ๐ŸŒฟ if you have these types of foam soap bottles (doesnโ€™t have to be from BBW!!) USE THEM FOR YOUR CONCOCTIONS! I just use a soft rag and wipe away ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Ayla & Miyu appreciate it ๐Ÿ’•

Awesome tip! Thank you! Are there certain plants this would not work with?
@BusyPignut I donโ€™t recommend cleaning plants that have fuzzy or textured leaves! I only clean my waxy, more rubbery leaves i.e Snake Plant, Pothos, Philo, Monstera, Rubber Tree.
@kscape thanks! I have often wondered what I could do to make them look prettier. #themoreyouknow
Definitely a cute idea
Love this idea! I was wiping Carlโ€™s leaves just the other day thinking there has to be a better way!
Thanks Dariana! Thatโ€™s a great idea. ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŒฑ
That's a fantastic idea!
@evergreen_pulip itโ€™s my favorite scent ๐Ÿ˜Œ I have 5 candles, 3 soap bottles, wallflowers, etc. I LOVE Fiji white sands. Itโ€™s very soft, vanilla-y and musky. Itโ€™s dreamy๐Ÿค
