How to keep those indoor, foliage plants healthy.

Cleaning the leaves with leaf shine may make your plants look lovely and glossy but it does nothing to kill bacteria.
In order to grow big, strong and healthy a plant's leaves must breathe through their pores and exchange gases.
Blocked pores means that your plants could, literally, choke to death.
Help is at hand though!!! The best anti-bacterial cleaner for plant leaves is BEER!!!!!! The weak acid in beer will successfully kill harmful bateria in the plants pores. A weekly clean of both sides of the leaves with cotton wool soaked in beer will do the trick.

Go on get your OH to leave a small amount in the bottom of his can/glass for you whenever he indulges in his favourite hobby. LOL
