Washing Fruits and Vegetables


I can't always afford to buy organic.  When someone in your household is off work buying fresh foods and keeping the electricity on is much more important than buying organic.  But, I don't want pesticides and wax on my food either.  So, I always used Fit Fruit and Vegetable wash.  I love it and I don't have anything bad to say about it...but in my search to be truly green (and save money doing it) I found some recipes for homemade fruit and veggie washes.  I thought I'd share them with you :)

Living on a Dime's Lemon Juice Wash
Variety of Ideas on Dollar Stretcher
Frugal Living's Vinegar Wash

I think I'm going to try the vinegar wash because the Dollar Stretcher article says Fit uses vinegar (so I'll already be used to it) and I have a TON of vinegar already for my homemade cleaning products.

What about you?  Do you use anything special to wash your fruits and veggies?  Do you buy a product or make your own?  I'd love to hear what you do to save green and go green :)
