Ideally you want to wash all your fruits & veggies with vinegar spray or soak; but pls make sure to at least spray with vinegar the DIRTY DOZEN* fruits & veggies that are know to be heavily sprayed.

Water/Vinegar Soak Recipe:
Ratio 1:3 (1Vinegar:3Water)

Vinegar Spray Recipe:


Important Note on VINEGAR:
Make sure your white vinegar is made from natural ingredients, label says 'grain alcohol' or 'neutral grain spirit' and avoid 'synthetic alcohol' as it's likely petroleum based.
