Washing Produce with Dr. Bronner's

Both organic and non-organic produce can be coated in various waxes or shellacs, which washing can help remove. Washing will also help remove surface pesticides and herbicides on sprayed produce, though it will not remove any chemicals that the produce has absorbed. Washing also removes any stowaways hiding in the leaves.
The features you want in a produce wash are:
• Effective
• Non-toxic
• Residue-free
While these are each equally important, the last one is why you can’t use most conventional soaps or detergents on produce. The scents are meant to linger by leaving residues on surfaces. Who wants their salad to taste like some lingering artificial fragrance?
However, both Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap and Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner are effective cleansers, contain mild plant-based surfactants, and are exceedingly clean rinsing and make great options for washing produce. Neither product leaves any soapy taste behind and all of the Castile scents work equally well.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your book. It really explains the science behind the products as well as the reasons to avoid many commercial cleaners. I'm grateful to you for your commitment to the planet and your customer base. Thank you!

Considering Apeel is being found to be used even on organic foods, and may not even be labeled, I am concerned about the statement being made (on many blogs, etc) that it cannot be washed off (and that it actually gets into the peels of fruits and vegetables). Have you been exploring if this is true by washing fruits and vegetables with castile soap known to be treated with Apeel? I'm asking, because I have a hypothesis that since this chemical is using triglycerides and diglycerides to mix up a bunch of toxic metals to make a protective covering, that a "soap" would perhaps break it down off the fruits and vegetables. I'm wondering if you've been exploring this?

I’ve done this before I wasn’t sure because of the pine or fir essential oils in the sals suds attatching to the surface of the skin of the vegetables

Hi there- A small squirt of Sal Suds (which is our biodegradable cleaner) OR Castile Soap, then swish until slightly sudsy. The microphone muffled things a bit in that section, didn't it?

@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner Oh, thank you. Sal Suds, I hadn't heard of it. Now I know, thank you. Dr Bronners is amazing stuff! 👍

I would love to make foaming soap with Sal Suds (not castile) to use on produce and single dish washing, but what would the ratio be per cup of water?

@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner 2 ай бұрын

Hi there- Use a dilution of 1 part Sal Suds to 6 parts water in your foaming pump... which in this case comes out to 7oz instead of 8oz.
