Natural Leaf Shine: Mineral Oil, Milk, or WD-40?

Homemade Leaf Polish Options

Whole milk: Fat content adds shine; skim milk less effective.
Mineral oil diluted with water: Adjust shine level; non-rancid, pest-resistant.
WD-40 on a cloth: Hard, dry shine; use sparingly.
White vinegar solution: Removes mineral deposits from hard water.
Dish soap and water: General cleaning.

Never use on fuzzy-leaved plants (African violets, etc.). Test on a leaf first. Avoid food-based products if pests are a concern.
