Keeping your kitchen clean is vital because your family’s health depends on it!
Washing and sanitizing everything from your utensils to your food must always be number one when keeping your household safe and bacteria free. Some of the most common foods that we often forget to wash are raw fruits and vegetables! This Fruit and Vegetable Wash Spray Recipe will really do your kitchen and your family some good!
Even though most peels are not edible, washing is still extremely important because it removes all the parasites, germs, and bacteria (including E. Coli) carried by your produce that could potentially make you and your family sick.
Most supermarkets carry ready-made produce washes, but why spend on chemical-based ones when you can make your own using organic ingredients from the safety of your own kitchen?
