You might think organic fruits and vegetables are automatically clean and safe, but that’s not always true.
While organic farming doesn’t use pesticides, fungicides, or rodenticides, organic produce can still harbor other stuff you don’t want to eat: germs, farmyard dirt, waxes, or worse.
In fact, some organic farming practices, such as using composted manure as fertilizer, can increase the risk of bacterial contamination (yes, E. coli!) if the manure hasn't been properly composted.
That’s why washing all fruit and vegetables—conventional or organic produce—with a natural fruit and vegetable wash is a simple, vital step in keeping your family healthy.
Rinsing fruits and vegetables with water can help, but it often isn’t enough to fully remove pesticides, waxes, or bacteria. Truly Free Home’s Fruit & Veggie Wash is a powerful yet gentle solution made from plant-based, food-grade ingredients that remove the bad stuff and leave your fruits and veggies fresh and safe to eat.
And Fruit & Veggie Wash leaves no aftertaste.
Its non-toxic, dye-free, and eco-friendly formula is safe for even the most delicate berries and greens, and gentle enough for everyday family use. Best of all, it’s super easy to use.
Spray Method for Quick Cleaning of Fruit or Vegetable
Good for a single piece of produce like an apple, plum, peach, zucchini, or eggplant.
Spray Fruit & Veggie Wash liberally on the fruit or vegetable.
Let it sit for 1 minute.
Rinse thoroughly under cool running water.
Soak Method for More Thorough Cleaning of Fruits or Vegetables
Ideal for larger amounts or more textured produce like kale, broccoli, romaine, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes.
Add ¼ cup of Fruit & Veggie Wash to a large bowl.
Add 5 cups of cool water and fruits or vegetables.
Let them soak for 5 minutes before draining and rinsing under cool water.
Using a natural fruit and vegetable wash every day is an easy way to reduce your family’s exposure to unwanted chemicals and potential contaminants.
With Truly Free Home’s Fruit & Veggie Wash, you can trust that your produce is safe, clean, and delicious—giving you peace of mind with every bite.
