The Microfiber Dusting Glove is the ultimate accessory for keeping your houseplants in top condition. This glove captures dust and dirt from delicate leaves without leaving scratches or damage. Thanks to the soft, extremely fine fibers, it glides effortlessly over every leaf. Ideal for large plants like the Ficus Lyrata or compact specimens like the ZZ plant .
Combine your glove with a plant sprayer for complete leaf care, or use it with an Elho Watering Can 1.5L for a well-maintained, dust-free green oasis.
How to Care for a Microfiber Dusting Glove
Watering: Microfiber Dusting Glove
After each use, remove excess dust with cold water. Rinse the Microfiber Dusting Glove thoroughly under the tap. This prevents dirt from settling between the fibers. After cleaning, the glove remains absorbent and fresh, ready for the next cleaning session.
Light: Microfiber Dusting Glove
Let your glove dry in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can weaken the microfibers and cause them to wear out faster. Drying in the shade helps the glove retain its shape and softness. For example, place it on a drying rack next to your houseplant pots .
Common Problems with Your Microfiber Dusting Mitt
Yellow spots
Yellow discoloration is often caused by old dust particles or limescale. Wash the glove with a mild detergent without bleach. Add a dash of vinegar to neutralize limescale residue. This prevents permanent discoloration in the fibers.
Glove dripping
A glove that's too wet can drip during use. Carefully squeeze out any excess water before starting. Let it dry briefly on a towel before you begin. This will keep your workspace and plants dry.
Mold and pests
Damp conditions can attract mold or moths. Hang the glove out to air after use. Wash it regularly at 30°C (86°F) and ensure it is completely dry before storing. Also read our tips in the jungle mist spray guide for the correct humidity for houseplants.
Edges fray
After heavy use, the edges may fray. Carefully trim any loose threads. Wash the glove separately to avoid additional friction with zippers or buttons. This will keep the Microfiber Dusting Glove in optimal condition for longer.
Brown edges on the material
Brown edges are often caused by oil or resin from certain plants. First, treat the stain with a little natural vinegar and then rinse thoroughly. Then, machine wash on a wool cycle. For stubborn stains, you can pre-treat with a scoop of Potting Soil & Accessories with activated carbon.
