Homemade Produce Wash

I have been using BioKleen Produce Wash for a while now since the bottle lasts for so long. While I really love it and will likely pick up another bottle using this $1 off coupon from Mambo Sprouts, I decided to test out different "recipes" for making my own produce wash.

The ingredients listed in BioKleen's formula are: Lime extracts, grapefruit seed and pulp extracts, surfactants from coconut and/or corn, cold pressed orange oil and filtered water.

Here's the winner of the homemade versions I found:

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. It's natural and known for its antibacterial properties.)
  

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a deep pitcher; it will bubble and fizz.
   
2. Pour into a spray bottle.
3. Spray on fruits and or vegetables and allow to sit for 5 or 10 minutes before rinsing.
