Think you're wasting your time with the cricket bat.

Can't help with organic as I spray mine as there's too many to cope with, but I have heard of using a dust-buster to vacuum them off!

I'd leave the leaves on, as it's through them the plant makes it's food. Yellowing ones can be removed.

Oh that's fab!! I'm imagining the looks I would get. I've already got a reputation for being too tidy. All I need now is the dust-buster.
