BTW- you shouldn't be seeing suds!
In addition to those two items the dish soap and the rubbing alcohol a long time grower in our group says to put some mineral oil too. It is what he sprays his some 200+ orchids with before he brings them back in for the winter. He puts almost everything he owns outside for the summer, what a sight that must be eh?
