Washing dusty/dirty plants

I have 12 plants in my backyard, mostly doing excellently. The neighbors did a bit of hardscaping near our common fence and it kicked up a ton of dirt and dust which drifted over into our yard and landed on some of the plants.

I was intending to hit the plants with a mister nozzle and see where that got me, but I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions

the mister nozzle will work just make sure you do it when the sun is off them for the rest of the night and as long as they are not flowering

For 12 plants I'd use a pressure sprayer with larger capacity. A good rain is always helpful but not always when needed. Last season I was going to spray my plants before harvesting and lucky for me we got a good little rain shower. Also remember when you trim a lot of the exterior debris and dust will be removed as well.

The mister should work just fine. If you can open up the nozzle a tad bit to get a stronger stream going I am sure that would be helpful. I foliar feed my plants in the morning and rinse the leaves at night on a daily basis.
