I did not always think it was important to do anything more that to simply rinse them. As my awareness grew, the need for ways to simplify and sift through the choices became apparent. I came across the easiest DIY produce wash and I was shocked at how well it worked!

There are two ways I wash my fruits in veggies. The spray method, and the sink method. The spray is perfect for apples, pairs and tomatoes while the sink method makes washing all your veggies and fruits together easier. Especially when it comes to leafy veggies!

Produce Cleansing Spray:

• 2 cups of water
• ½ cup white distilled vinegar
• 10 drops of Lemon essential oil
• Combine in a spray bottle
• Shake before each use and spray your produce liberally to clean it

Washing Produce in the Sink:

• Fill the clean sink with purified cold water
• Add 1/4 cup of distilled vinegar
• Add 5 drops of lemon essential oil
• Soak for 10 minutes
• Rinse and strain veggies

I love this simple recipe!

It saves me time, helps me keep my family healthy and even saves me from having to buy expensive ready made products.
