@judyhodgen, I have a variable stream attachment for my garden hose; use the misting setting and after giving each plant some good shakes, then wipe each leaf to prevent spotting from high mineral content in our water. Time consuming and I get wetter than the plants but in my dusty, dry area and with compromised lungs, it really needs doing. For smaller plants, have used a spray bottle on the patio. Surprisingly, the "silks" have withstood several yrs of doing this. Houseplants don't get enough sunlight in my home so this is the "next best choice" for a sight of green indoors for me. Good luck.
