Do you all wash your fruit properly before eating it?
How to Wash Vegetables and Fruits for Your Family's Health and the Environment!
It is none other than baking soda and vinegar.
Fruits, especially fresh fruits coming from overseas
Since it has been treated with pesticides or special chemicals
I end up paying extra attention to washing things when feeding the kids...
I wash with eco-friendly cleaning agents, baking soda and vinegar. That way, all the residual pesticides are completely removed, so I feel safe.
Cherries, Shine Muscat grapes, Pale tomatoes, blueberries, etc. that children like...
I washed the fruit for the children's breakfast and the fruit for myself to eat at work in advance.
I usually pack enough to eat the evening before or early in the morning.
I use baking soda when washing like this.
There are also cases where baking soda and citric acid combine to clean more thoroughly.
Baking soda alone is enough.
It is also used to wash fruit and dishes.
Wash with baking soda, add a drop of vinegar at the end, and rinse one more time for peace of mind!!!
By the way, you all know that adding vinegar when rinsing laundry is great, right? You can use vinegar instead of fabric softener, and if you want a better scent, just add a drop of aroma oil. It makes everything smell wonderful, protects your skin health, and is just good for you~
Cleanly washed fruits..
I feel so satisfied just thinking about enjoying a delicious breakfast tomorrow morning.
If we take a look at the benefits of baking soda~
Baking Soda Benefits
1) Neutralization function
Baking soda is weakly alkaline. Grease stains and most stubborn stains in the kitchen are acidic.
If you mix alkaline baking soda with water and spray it on acidic grease stains, they are neutralized and become easy to wash off.
It neutralizes acidic contaminants such as grease, food stains, and sweat, making them easy to remove.
You can easily clean a gas stove that has become messy from overflowing food with baking soda.
If you wet the gas stove a little with water, sprinkle baking soda powder on it, and then wipe it with a soft sponge, it will become clean in no time.
Burnt pots can be cleaned by adding baking soda and water and boiling for about 15 minutes.
2) Polishing function
Baking soda, a natural detergent, has fine particles that clean dishes and other items without scratching them.
You can use it as a substitute for dish soap or cleaning detergent to keep it clean and safe without scratches.
3) Dehumidification function
Baking soda has a dehumidifying function, so it absorbs some moisture.
4) Odor absorption and cleaning function
Baking soda has the function of absorbing odors.
Spraying it in shoe cabinets or smelly sink drains helps remove odors.
If your shoes smell bad, remove the soles and sprinkle baking soda powder on them to remove the odor.
Please remove the baking soda powder before wearing the shoes.
When the drain smells bad, sprinkle baking soda into the drain and pour hot water; it will bubble up, disinfecting and removing the odor.
5) Oil adsorption function
Baking soda absorbs oil and makes it easy to remove, thereby removing stubborn oil stains.
This is very useful when washing stainless steel kitchenware for the first time.
You can remove the polishing agent from stainless steel by applying cooking oil or similar products to the stainless steel, adding baking soda and hot water, or, in the case of a pot, boiling it for about 10 minutes, and then washing it with dish soap.
2. Precautions when using baking soda
You should not use baking soda in aluminum bowls, as it will turn them black.
Baking soda can be divided into cleaning products and edible products.
It says that cleaning baking soda is not edible.
Please purchase and use according to your needs.
3. How to use baking soda: Various applications
1) Baking soda powder
Store baking soda powder in a small container and use it as needed.
If there is an odor coming from the drain or sink, spraying a little and pouring water will remove the smell to some extent.
Spraying it when washing dishes effectively removes grease, and adding it during laundry helps remove stubborn stains.
2) Mix baking soda with water to make it thick
Dissolve the baking soda by adding water little by little. (Ratio of 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 tablespoon water)
You can make it slightly thick and use it where needed.
If you make it like this, you can conveniently use it to remove stubborn stains on tiles, mold, and food stains from clothes.
3) Making a baking soda spray
Dissolve baking soda powder in water, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it wherever needed.
It is very convenient to clean smelly or dirty places after spraying it.
Add 5g of baking soda to 100ml of water and shake well to dissolve it.
4. Baking soda fruit washing
You can use baking soda when washing fruits like apples, lemons, or tangerines to remove pesticides and wash them more thoroughly.
1) Place the fruit in a bowl and sprinkle baking soda on it.
2) Put on rubber gloves and rub baking soda on the fruit several times with a sponge.
3) After filling with water, soak the fruit in the baking soda water for 5 to 10 minutes.
4) Rinse with clean water and dry.
Washing fruit with baking soda is really easy, isn't it?
Please soak fruits like grapes or strawberries in water with baking soda for about 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse them under running water.
Don't soak it for too long.
5. Baking soda laundry
If you wash with only baking soda, the cleaning power may decrease.
If you add a little baking soda to your laundry detergent, the two complement each other, making stain removal much more effective.
Alternatively, if you want to wash using only natural detergents, you can wash with baking soda + sodium percarbonate dissolved well in warm water.
Baking soda + Sodium percarbonate = 2 : 1 ratio
However, sodium percarbonate contains bleaching agents, so you must be careful of color fading in colored clothes.
If the fabric requires a neutral detergent, do not use baking soda, which is mildly alkaline.
I think baking soda and vinegar are even more necessary during the summer.
I should make better use of this for my health and the environment.
