For a Natural Produce Wash, combine:
- 3 cups filtered water
- 3 Tbsp white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp baking soda
- a few drops of lemon juice
Mix ingredients in a spray bottle. Mist fruits/vegetables and rinse with cold water to get your produce naturally free of dirt and/or pesticides!
**Not recommended for mushrooms because they might absorb the flavor.
In an empty spray bottle:
1 part water
1 part white vinegar
1 part alcohol
SO SIMPLE!
(It will smell like vinegar, but the smell will dissipate relatively quickly)
