No!!! You don't want to use anything that will "clog" the pores of the leaves. All you'll want to do is use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe off the dust.
-
No! My RHS encyclopaedia says to clean leaves regularly with a little warm milk.

"To give leaves a shiny appearance, wipe them with a cloth moistened with leaf-shine products available at your favorite Garden center or nursery." from http://www.ext.colostate.edu/ptlk/1326.html

BEST ANSWER - dust off your leaves (I'm lazy so I just use a 'Swiffer') and then use Leafshine. It comes in an aerosol can. It will make your plant look like it just came home from Bachman's!! You can find Leafshine at any greenhouse, Bachman's, Linders, etc. It's even at Walmart and Target. Good luck!
