One of my favorite ways to go green is to learn how to make things instead of buying them, case in point: fruit and veggie wash. I don't know about the kind you buy, but the kind I used to get was pricey! Now I'm all about getting my fruits and veggies clean (even if they are organic), but I'm not about to spend an arm and a leg to do it. So after some researching I discovered that vinegar is an excellent cleaner and when mixed in a 1:1 ratio with water, a simple fruit and veggie wash can be born! Talk about cheap considering that I've had the same bottle of distilled white vinegar for over a year and am just now getting below the halfway mark.
Get those fruits and veggies clean with your own homemade cleaner!
Now onto that recipe....
Fruit & Veggie Wash
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vinegar (I use distilled white vinegar)
1/2 cup water
funnel
spray bottle
The short ingredient list.
Steps:
Pour 1/2 cup vinegar into spray bottle
Pour 1/2 cup water into spray bottle
Shake and you're done!
Spray onto fruits and veggies and then wash off with water to get them clean and ready to eat.
Here's a video of Avery and I making the "Fruit & Veggie Wash" and boy she is as lively as ever!
