One of those pricey, vegetable pre-wash sprays, that is.
Now, while I'm sure they work quite well, the fact is that you can make your own spray quite easily. Here is a dirt cheap, easy-to-make recipe. And you probably already have all the ingredients. I use it all the time and am always amazed by how much grime comes off my produce.
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Mix all together in a large bowl with a pour spout. Once the fizzing subsides, pour the mix into a spray bottle. Spray produce thoroughly and let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse in clean water.
Great info! I've been using just plain vinegar and water mix to wash my fruit/veggies but I will try this concoction. I discovered the helpful hint one day when I actually read the label of my vinegar bottle.
