DIY Fruit and Veggie Wash | Let's Soak Some Strawberries! 🍓🍓

I have ALWAYS used a fruit and veggie wash. Since I started with Young Living in 2017, I have purchased their soak and spray. They have been out of stock, and I’m currently OUT of my fruit and veggie soak! It’s DIY time! Let’s soak some strawberries! Also, this is just my own method for cleaning them, you don't have to do the same! I do a double wash/soak and rinse.

I do a separate soak because adding baking soda to the first bowl wouldn’t be effective. Baking soda (base) would have neutralized the vinegar (acid). That’s why I do two separate soaks, and strawberries are one of the dirty dozen! An extra rinse doesn’t hurt! 😉

I decided it’s easier to just make a soak as needed. I used a 5-quart stainless steel bowl and cold water. (My water is county water treated with chlorine, but also on a whole house salt system - so it’s clean! But if I didn’t have my additional filter, and knowing how high in chlorine my water is, I would use distilled water to clean my strawberries. Yeah, I know I’m OCD.)

First soak:
- Cold water
- Distilled white vinegar
- Lemon essential oil
- Citrus Fresh essential oil
- Specifically for strawberries I add a little salt. (No, I haven’t seen any bugs come out of them. )

Let soak and rinse. I do remove the leaves as I rinse, but leave the stem.

Second soak:
- All cold water
- Baking soda
- Lemon EO
- Citrus Fresh EO

Rinse and dry! Keep cold in the fridge 🍓
