"Canadian safety standards are some of the weakest, in part because they allow the continued use of dozens of weed, bug and fungus killers banned elsewhere."

Most pesticides can't be removed from produce with water alone because they are designed to be water resistant. This way, they won't wash off in the rain. Fruit & Veggie Wash Concentrate was designed for produce which requires soaking such as grapes, berries, broccoli, and spinach. This type of produce has more hidden crevices where contaminants can hide. This formula has no taste, is odourless, residue-free and helps remove surface pesticides, chemicals, bacteria, wax and dirt. For firm produce like apples and tomatoes, we recommend our Fruit & Veggie Spray Wash.

Even organic produce should be washed. It can be exposed to everything from contaminated irrigation water to fertilizers, animal feces and human contact.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Fatty Polyglycoside (from corn starch and palm kernel oil), Citric Acid, Cellulose Colloids (from wood and cotton), Sodium Hydroxymethyl Glycinate (preservative based on glycine).

About Nature Clean

In the early 1960s, our mother suffered allergic reactions to the harsh chemicals used in traditional household products. To help her, our dad began developing his own natural formulations. Since then our family has continued the tradition of creating healthier, non-toxic alternatives for the products we all use in our homes everyday. Natureclean is about caring for your family's health, it's about the passion we feel for protecting our natural world, and it's about loving ourselves enough to use safer products.
