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 (change servings and units)

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.

Thanks for sharing. Next time though I'll read the instructions for a deep pitcher. I had to make more, most of it bubbled out. This is great, especially with all the flu around.

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.

This is also great for people with compromised immune systems - especially those undergoing chemotherapy who are told to avoid chemicals like bleach and detergents.
