Default NEED help! How to remove hard water deposit on orchids.

Had someone helping watch my 'chids while I was busy with work and school stuff. They have been using our tap water, hard water. Now everything seems to be filmed in some white chalk stuff. What can I use to get these off my plants? I will be going back to using RO water but will that be sufficient to get them back on track? Please advise..

some lemon juice and water mixture. use the lemon juice extract and water mix on a paper towel and start wiping them down each leaf. it will take some time but they will be literally squeaky clean..

I use a product called Clearex. I get it from my local hydroponic store. I use it mostly for leaching salts from my media, but works well to get the white deposits.
