While it's easy to forget to clean produce after grabbing it from the grocery store, the importance of doing so cannot be understated. In a time when COVID-19 is prevalent, ensuring that the food you eat is safe is a precaution everyone should take. Fruit and vegetables are exposed in the market and risk being touched by unwashed hands, coated in pesticides, or covered in grime. Because of this, having a safe cleaning solution on hand is necessary to keep you and those eating the newly-purchased produce healthy. Luckily, making a DIY cleaning spray is easy and fast and only requires two ingredients. When using this spray, you can ensure your produce is safe for consumption and free from dirt, pesticides, and grime. Follow these steps ahead and make your own cleaning concoction at home now.
