The biggest concern when buying non organic produce is how to remove the pesticides. While organic fruit is preferred, not everyone can afford to purchase organic fruit 100% of the time. With a few ordinary household ingredients, consumers can effectively remove most of the pesticides and bacteria from non organic produce.

1、Fill the spray bottle with a vinegar/water mixture. Add one part vinegar to 3 parts water.
2、Spray an ample amount of the vinegar water mixture on the fruit and vegetables to be cleaned. It's best to do this over a sink because it could get very messy.
3、Wash the fruit thoroughly in cold water to remove all of the vinegar and traces of bacteria and pesticides. Using the vinegar water solution alone is an effective way to remove the majority of the harmful pesticides and bacteria. However, it doesn't stop there.
4、Fill a large bowl with cold water and approximately a half cup of hydrogen peroxide. Place the newly washed fruit in the bowl and let it sit for a minute or two.
5、Scrub the fruit with the toothbrush. While the fruit is in the bowl, use the toothbrush to scrub the fruit. Be careful when brushing delicate fruit as you don't want to bruise it.
6、Rinse the fruit/vegetables thoroughly with cold water.
