A while ago we talked about some of the dirtiest produce there is… but the reality is that ALL produce should be washed to remove dirt, germs, and pesticides. I’m not a fan of buying separate washes for everything, so I stumbled upon a very SIMPLE rinse that you can make at home to rid your produce of all the “bad” stuff! I found this recipe from a great Instagram page that you should follow if you’re interested in living green! (Which you should ALL be!

What you’ll need:

• Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
• Lemons
• Water
• A jar that seals (to store your cleanser!)

How to make the cleaner:

1. Mix 1 cup ACV with the juice of 2 lemons and 1 cup of water in the jar you’ve chosen.
2. Shake and store in the fridge for use for up to one month

How to use it:

1. Fill your sink with cold water and pour 1 cup of the homemade cleanser in.
2. Put your produce in the sink and let it soak for about 10 minutes.
3. Rinse and dry your produce

NOTE: soft fruits like raspberries will absorb the vinegar if they soak too long, so only drop them in for a brief swim and make sure to rinse them well!
