I use Pharm Solutions and really love the stuff. They have many different flavors for different purposes; I use the pink cinnamon oil type. It is an insecticide, miticide, fungicide and great leaf shiner. It did nothing for soot; thanks for the Dawn idea!!

I have cats, dogs, asthma, and my best friend's baby who is at the age where everything goes in her mouth so I can't have any hard chemicals around my house. I use this every other watering as prevention and to shine the leaves and I have never had a bug on my phals indoors or cyms outdoors. I also spray any new acquisitions just in case.

I found it at an upscale nursery nearby and online. (pharmsolutionsinc.com) I have yet to see it at Target, Home Depot or Armstrong. It would be a little pricey if I had a greenhouse full of orchids but I don't, so this is great at $17 a quart.
