Best Fruit and Veggie Wash Recipe

  1. Fill 1 quart-sized spray bottle with water.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of Earth Mama Castile Soap. While you can use any flavor, we prefer Simply Non-Scents because it’s truly unscented. *Note: fill bottle with water first, then add the soap, or else you'll be throwing a foam party which is fun but kind of annoying when you're trying to clean
  3. Spritz your fruits or veggies, gently scrub, then rinse thoroughly under running water.
  4. That’s it! Your produce is ready to go!


And since you’re only using a teaspoon at a time of Earth Mama Castile Soap, you’ve got plenty leftover for lots of other things, like making your own baby wipes, cleaning make-up brushes, even a DIY multi-purpose housecleaner. Not to mention all the people in your home, from babies to big kids, including grown-ups.
