DIRT! DIRT! THERE'S DIRT ON MY VEGETABLES? Quick mother, pour some bleach on that potato, I heard there might be mud on it. I understand you have a product and want to sell it, but I think the main problem is washing off the pesticides is the main thing (pesticides are necessary to anyone who doesn't want their crops decimated by bugs). Overuse of cleaners is leading to an increase in germ resistance to chemicals, and to lowering of human immune systems due to lack of ANY exposure to germs.

Dear difficultbastard - We're talking about pathogens - ones that can cause kidney failutre and even death - and pesticides that are linked to cancer and Parkinson's disease, among others. My friend was paralyzed after eating tainted fish. Dr. Ibrahim's 35 years in environmental science and research proves that water on its own does not clean fecal residue, pesticides, wax or pathogens. I'll take the salad without the poop, thank you.

What a worthless product. Water will remove pesticiedes. No pesticide is not water soluble!

[Eatcleaner]

So if it rains, all of the pesticides will be rinsed off and all of the insects will devour it, no? Would love to know where you got your information. I'm sure you would think twice if you really understood the research.

Thanks for your time in watching it.

Farmer: "The government sent me a letter saying if I don't use this poison/pesticide on my produce they'll shut me down!"

Welcome to the "Free" land of America!

why and how the vegetable lasts longer if ure using the product?

[Eatcleaner]

There are plenty that are not, though. Think about it this way...ALL of that run off would go into our groundwater. Read the USDA's review of pesticides and know that the half life can last for months, years.

Our products are lab tested to kill up to 99.99% of Salmonella and E.coli.
