Homemade Vegetable Wash/Preserver Produce Wash - Make Your Own

"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. This is a great produce wash. I've probably made up 5 or 6 batches and I use it on all fresh produce ... LOVE IT!
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. This is also great for people with compromised immune systems - especially those undergoing chemotherapy who are told to avoid chemicals like bleach and detergents.
     
  5. Thanks for sharing. So easy to do and works great.
