All Natural Veggie Wash for your fruits and veg. This is a citrus based cleaner that has been lab tested to remove wax, soil, chemicals from your produce. Smells nice too! Reasonably priced at around $4.50 for a 16 fl.oz spray bottle , this should keep you going for a few months .
Why use a cleaner for your fruits and veggies versus plain old water rinsing? According to this products website " Pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are specifically engineered to be "waterproof" so that they are not washed off by rain and irrigation. Many fruits and vegetables (grapes, apples, cucumbers, etc.) are also coated in wax to preserve the quality and appearance of the produce from the fields to your kitchen table.
Studies suggest that some of these chemicals may be toxic to the human body. Specifically, pesticides have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders and can be especially harmful to children, the elderly, and anyone suffering from a deficient immune system. In addition to agricultural chemicals and other residues, 20 or more strangers may have handled your fruit or vegetable before you put it in your mouth."
Pretty compelling. I like this product , it doesn't have a chemically smell and rinses clean away. It makes a pretty good counter top cleaner too. Psychologically, I must confess , it gives me comfort to use a product such as this on the foods I am going to ingest that may have come into contact with God knows what....
