Default white powdery waxy stuff on pseudostem

does anyone have a problem with white powdery waxy stuff on the pseudostem of their banana plant?
Is this normal? Or should I spray it down with dish soap/water mixture?

thanks,
Dean

It's normal. The amount varies among varieties and with age. Don't worry.
