Hi everyone ,
I use purified water and non-ionic surfactant (healthy harvest). I find it to be effective and convinient if in a hurry. Here are a few ideas and a video!
Enjoy!

One brand, at least, [Healthy Harvest] has been extensively tested for efficacy in university settings using testing protocols established by the FDA itself! The highest rate of removal of pesticides in their Electron Capture Gas Chromatography analysis was greater than 95%. The overall average was more than 90%, when a known amount of 13 chlorinated pesticides was applied to the surface of apples under simulated field conditions. One half of each fruit was simply sprayed with water, the other with the special wash. The special wash left a mere 5% or less residual pesticide matrix as compared to 32% or so residue from plain water rinsing. That's a statistically significant spread, if you ask me. The wash consists of only two ingredients throroughly tested for safety: purified water and a food grade, non-ionic surfactant prepared from polyether alcohol, without unnnecessary additives (colors, fragrance or flavor). If you ingested a full bottle of the stuff, the misuse of such product would cause no more than an upset stomach. And the FDA is worried about 'protecting' us from a slight film on our produce? I'll take that risk over pesticide residue any day! Maybe there's a less salubrious agenda on FDA's part than we are given to think?


Washing fruits and vegies that are not organically grown. Use a large receptical or pot - fill halfway with filtered water, or authentic spring water, add a heaping spoon of Kosher salt, 1/8 cup lemong juice (this mixture creates hydrochloric acid). This combination of "do-it-yourself home remedy" works better than store bought washes. I generally add, for additional protection, if there is such a thing - 3 Tbsps vinegar, and 3 Tbsps of pharmaceutical grade hydrogen peroxide. For fragile fruits and veggies, such as lettuces, or soft skinned fruit like peaches, etc. two minutes is long enough for a wash. The harder skinned items such as apples, Qs, tomatoes, etc. for 5-minutes.
After this wash, rinse thoroughly with filtered water, pat dry with a clean dish cloth. It is well advised to peel those food items with skins on them. As for the more perishable ones like leafy or tender vegies, wash only before consuming, and only what you intend to eat at the tiem. Pat dry with a paper towel or cloth.
Additonally, if you consume ORGANIC fruits and vegies, wash them as well with filtered water and vinegar and rinse clean just before consumption. This cleans off the grit and any tiny creatures left on them. If you can afford to pay a little extra, buy ORGANIC. IT IS HEALTHIER FOR YOUR BODY.


I also like to use ACV and purified water..........
