Thank you. This is a cost affective way. I recently began blending my fruits and veggies and have become very conscious of what I feed my grand daughter and myself. What about the pesticides and insecticides does this process help?

@floopy312 That makes sense! Thanks! :)

@euheide Maybe it takes a long time for the chemical reaction to take place in the bottle. If you apply them directly on the fruit instead you would wash out the two things right away after applying them. That's maybe not enough time to create harmful amounts of the acid.

That's what I think.

1:49 - I don't understand. How can mixing the two in a bottle create that "..." harmful acid but mixing both on the fruit not create that harmful acid?

I'm genuinely doubtful but would appreciate some enlightening. Thanks for the video!

all you have to use is hydrogen peroxide, it kills all bacteria and viruses by over oxygenating them. Furthermore, i recommend food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted for use internally.

I have been using vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for about 4 months now......... the best thing to clean your fruits and veggies , I also use it to clean everything around the house......in the kitchen , bathroom etc....

I used it once on my basement windows , I was getting mold around the windows from the excess humidity and now the mold is gone
