DIY Fruit and Vegetable Wash

I was determined to stop spending almost $10 a bottle on Veggie Wash. Don't get me wrong, the stuff works great, but I am frugal and we are working through the first steps of the Dave Ramsey program. And ten bucks is ten bucks.

So, I started playing around with a few simple things and came up with a great (AND EASY) produce wash.

Here it is:

• 1 Part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Part Filtered Water
• 10 Drops Young Living Orange Essential Oil
• 10 Drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil

When I get home from the store I simply put all my fresh fruits and veggies into the sink, rinse them off with water and then spray them thoroughly.  You can rinse off the spray but I usually don't. There isn't anything in there that isn't safe to eat and we have never had any issues with the food tasting like vinegar. 

I used an 8 oz glass bottle from Abundant Health but you could use any bottle you have. I have noticed that this works great on berries and grapes specifically. If I just rinse them and put them in the fridge they always start to go bad much sooner than if I use this veggie wash. Plus having fruit and veggies washed and ready go increases the chances that they will get eaten!
