Start by collecting your ingredients. You’ll also need a mixing bowl or pitcher, a whisk or spoon for stirring, and a container for storing your wash.

In your mixing bowl or pitcher, combine 1 cup of white distilled vinegar with 2 cups of chilled water. If you’re feeling zesty today, toss in that tablespoon of lemon juice. Sprinkle in the salt too.

Using a whisk or a spoon, stir the mixture well. You want to ensure the vinegar, water, lemon juice, and salt are evenly distributed. This step is crucial; a well-mixed solution is the key to effective cleaning.

Pour your newly mixed vinegar fruit wash into a clean container. A spray bottle works well for easy use. If you don’t have one, any clean jar or bottle will suffice. Just be sure it can close tightly.

When it’s time to eat, simply soak or spray your fruits with the vinegar wash. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes before rinsing under cool water. This step ensures that any dirt or pesticides come off easily.
