Make your own Fruit & Veggie Wash

Use this solution to effectively clean your fruits and veggies. Studies have shown that 3 parts water to 1 part white vinegar removes 98% of bacteria compared to 85% with a fruit and veggie wash.*
Here is our favorite recipe:

1 Cup Water
1/3 Cup White Vinegar
20 Drops Nutribiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract

Mix well and use in a spray bottle to clean fruits and veggies. Spray well and rinse. For larger items such as lettuce, broccoli, or a large volume of fruits the best method is to soak them in the solution, soak a second time in fresh water then rinse.
