You need to clean your produce to help prevent getting sick from ecoli and other contaminants.  I have always wondered if I needed to purchase one of those special wash products or if I could make my own at home.  As it turns out, you can easily make your own that is just as effective.  Water will remove pesticide residue and this vinegar solution can reduce bacteria by 90% and viruses by 95%.  It is easy and inexpensive to make-simply mix ¼ vinegar with ¾ water.  Scrub the produce with this solution and then rinse under water for 30 seconds and viola-squeaky-clean produce ready to eat!
