Can I wash the leaves or stems of my Christmas cactus? They are very dusty.

I live in Arizona and it is very dusty here. I would like to clean the leaves to get the dust off. What is the best way to do this?

Soft brush or feather-duster.
If that doesn’t work for you, take it outside or in the bathtub and wash it off. (Don’t use hard water or it may leave spots).
Or carefully wipe with a soft damp cloth.
