Sounds good to me. That will do it. Be careful with the alcohol though. I think someone had a not so great exerience when they sprayed the orchid instead of wiping it down. Also try the cinnamon recipe too! I works wonderfully well and smells good too! You'll ned a small bottle of cinnamon extract. I found a bottle at super walmart (do you walmarts there?) You can adjust the recipe as needed, it works well as both a spray and as a soaking. The cinnamon will dry thingsout a bit so I always flush the mix to rinse the excess off the roots. Here is the recipe:

Brookn's Dish Soap Recipe
________________________________________
10 drops dishsoap
1.8 ml cinnamon extract (about 2 tsp.)
2 cups tepid water

adjust ingredients as needed.

This is great for cleaning leaves, bacteria and fungal infections, bug teterrant, and now bug and slug killer !
