I dont agree with some said here.
Im sure if you have kept chameleons you would see sometimes that the chameleons eye will bubble out and then they rub it.
So I will spray my chameleons with soft mist and with warm water, remember when you mist them, by the time the water reaches the cham it has cooled down so if you want them to have warm water, test it on your hand instead of just putting luke warm water in a bottle because that will end up cold anyway.
Anyway back to what I was saying, I spray them directly so that anything on their body can be cleaned off, and so that they can clean their eyes out, also because I have directly lightly sprayed my chameleons, they have learnt to walk up to the nosle and drink strait from it instead of getting whatever they can off of the leaves.
Just keep the humidity up to make sheds easy for them.
If you are having problems with humidity keep more live plants in their cage such as ficus and schefflera, dont ever use glass cages just for humidity (be logical if you know chameleons, they are a death trap).
And another tip for anyone, use paper towels instead of a substrate to prevent impaction.
Good luck
