Fruit and Veggie Wash

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

We tend to often be worried about washing our hands, but are you also making sure to wash your produce? If you don’t have a fruit and veggie wash, try this!

  • Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to a large bowl of cold water
  • Add 5 -8 drops of doTERRA LEMON essential oil
  • Add produce and soak for 10-15 minutes
  • Rinse and dry

It feels good knowing that my fruit is fresh and clean for my family.? And my kitchen always smells amazing afterwards! You can also make a spray bottle up with 20 drops, a splash of vinegar and fill the rest with water for quick cleanings like apples!
