If rinsing your fruit and vegetables in water isn't good enough, give making your own veggie wash a crack before you spring for something from the store. Here's an inexpensive and easy recipe we've adapted from directions on Recipezaar. The best part? It will take you all of five minutes to mix up.

DIY Veggie Wash

1 tbs organic lemon juice
10 drops grapefruit seed extract
2 tbs baking soda
1 cup filtered water
3/4 cup white vinegar

1. Mix well in a sprayer bottle.

2. Shake before use.

3. Spray produce (except mushrooms, because they absorb and retain water) and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

4. Rinse well

Difficulty level: Easy
