I'm not sure where I got this one but I use it often. I might have gotten it from CureZone or a book...
Rinsing red or green Bell peppers doesn't do much to clean them. Use a drop of dishwashing liquid to clean them while they are still whole. Rinse thoroughly. The texture will be rough to the touch. I heard that store bought peppers have pesticides that are oily (waterproof) and give them the greasy slick texture. Not sure if that's acurate but it sure gets a lot of whatever-it-is off the skin. I suppose this could work with apples too if you eat the skin.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 269,437I certainly hope the soap rinses off completely. I've used liquid soap to wash dishes, glasses, and everything I cook and eat/drink out of my whole life - maybe I've been injesting soap residue for over 30 years? :(
I would think that liquid soap is designed to rinse clean, as long as you can rinse it all off a non-absorbant smooth skin surface - like on a green pepper as opposed to a food that would absorb the soap and prevent full rinsing.
Consumer Reports recommends using liquid soap to wash produce. The USDA and FDA recommends using plain water. IMO plain water just doesn't work well at all. I don't really consider any of these sources credible though.
Do "natural" cleaners like vinegar or salt actually clean as well as liquid soap?
I hope others can chime in - I certainly don't want to propagate bad information here.- Chemical Load rudenski

This is a reply to # 269,444I have heard that excess soap( maybe the dye and the schemicals used to create scents...and other chemicals) may lead to chemical sensitities...

This is a reply to # 269,447Hi Rudito!
Miracle II is one of those MLM things, but I happen to like it for a lot of things. Not sure about all the "miraculous" claims though.......(do I sound like a real skeptic now? ;-O
You an do a search for it on the net, and if not go to raider's site: www.candidaovergrowth.com , she has a link for someone who gives it out at a good price.
By my kitchen sink, I keep a pump bottle full of a mixture of Miracle II, Grape Seed extract and pure orange oil. I leave the veggies to soak in a large bowl for about 10 or 15 minutes and then scrub the ones that you can scrub. For the leafy ones I just rinse, and if I'm very unsure of how polluted the veggies are, I give a final rinse in 35% food grade H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) or a couple of drops of Lugol's iodine.
You can never be too sure these days, there are aliens hidden in the produce..! >☻*☻*☻*☺<Advertisement

basically just plain water for at least 30 seconds washes off about 90% of germs..
you can easily make a nice antibacterial soap of your own with tea tree oil/ and water, and there are many herbs that can be used as soap substitutes that are non- latering and also lathering.
if looking for a good dishwash soap or laundry soap etc..
DR. BRONNERS teatree oil soap concentrate is great or the peppermint one also.
apple cider vinegar is incredible
i have used avc and baking sod for most any of my house cleaning needs.. and the avc is smelly at first , but it dissapates quickly enuff.
that stuff will loosen the grime off anything fairly fast in a soak, and if you wash produce with it diluted in water it will not affect taste.
a good scrub for stained bottoms of glass cookware is salt paste.
after a short avc water soak.
a quick polisher for copper bottom stuff if i remember is tomato juice or plain ketchup. (if i remember right,lol !
i only ever had copper bottom stuff years ago, and last year got rid of remaining metal pots i had left to go all glassware.)
