In specialized stores for summer residents you can find everything your heart desires, including a product for polishing the leaves of houseplants.

However, it is not at all necessary to spend money on purchasing such a product.

Instead, you can prepare a drug from available ingredients, the properties of which are in no way inferior to its industrial analogue.

This drug is nothing more than water with added lemon juice.

So, if you want to make sure that you can’t take your eyes off the leaves of your “green pets”, you should first wipe them with a regular viscose napkin, previously soaked in water.

Then dilute 2 teaspoons of lemon juice in a glass of warm boiled water and wipe the leaves again.

Once the solution dries, the leaves will shine as if they had just unfurled.

Important: this "lemonade" is not suitable for all leaves. Do not use it to wipe the top layer of the plant, that is, the recently unfolded leaves.
