make a 50-50 solution of lemon juice and water, and gently rub the foliage 
with a cloth. Several applications may be necessary to remove heavy residue...

Q: ... knocked my Cattleya off a plant stand, and it fell... leaves are 
cracked...

Answer: ... cut the worst of the broken foliage off below the break... 
sprinkle cinnamon on the cut to help dry out the area... good air 
circulation and sunlight perform the same function."
