    2. If using a vacuum cleaner for dusting make sure to use the right kind of brush. Thoroughly remove all the dust and debris by blowing it away and collecting with the help of the strong air suction mechanism of the vacuum cleaner. 
    3. If you are using a dry microfiber cloth always wipe down gently starting from the leaves, stems, and then the pot to loosen and release all dust particles before using a wet rag or cloth.
