The nature of this type of long-chain fatty acids gives it the necessary softness to be used in cleaning plants. It is a natural and biodegradable product.

LEAF CLEANSER natural liquid soap is a product for cleaning plants. It is indicated to keep plants clean and shiny, in optimal conditions for photosynthesis. Its nature facilitates the removal of dust, honeydew caused by insects, molds, and fungi, as well as resins and remains of insect seedlings. Regular cleaning of plants allows for the timely detection and control of plant pests.
