Produce Wash - Make Your Own and Save!
By: mama's kitchen
Apr 23, 2008
Easy and economical. Ideal for rinsing produce when you cannot get or afford to buy Organic. Removes a lot of residue like chemicals, pesticides and other matter quickly and easily. I saw this on Oprah and had to share! NOTE: Make sure to mix this in a DEEP pitcher. The baking soda and vinegar will react and foam everywhere if you do not. (just ask any elementary school kid who has ever made a volcano for science class)
1 bottle
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 20 drops grapefruit seed extract (you can find this in your healthy food store, natural antibacterial) (optional)
Directions
1
Mix all ingredients together in a DEEP pitcher. See note above!2
Pour into a spray bottle.3
Spray on fruits and or vegetables and allow to sit for 5 or 10 minutes before rinsing.

This is so easy to do and I believe it works great. I sprayed my fruit and veggies and let rest 5 minutes and then rinse, and they look fine LOL I'll do it again when my bottle will be empty. Thanks Hope. Made for Beverage tag.

Fantastic, I am so excited about this. Thanks for posting mama. I use this same thing minus the water to clean my sink and tubs. I also have a clean drain when finished. Two jobs in one. Now I have another use for it. Thanks again.

I never knew you could make your own produce wash. This is a real money saver. I read the ingredients on the Fit produce wash and noticed that it also contained grapfruit seed extract. I can't wait to tell all my friends about this recipe. Thanks for a real money saver, mama. Made for July, 2008 Bevy Tag.

Thank you for posting this. I now have peace of mind when I give my kids a piece of fruit because I am assured that it is clean. I didn't have any grapefruit seed extract but hope to use some the next time I make a bottle of this wash.
