With our fruit and vegetable wash, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/us\/en\/product\/thieves-fruit-veggie-soak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thieves Fruit &amp; Veggie Soak<\/a>, cleaning your produce is easier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Simply find a bowl or container large enough to fit your produce. Fill the bowl with water and add 2 tablespoons of the solution for every 16 cups of water. Stir gently to incorporate the soak, add your produce, and let it sit for 1\u22122 minutes. Drain the liquid and rinse the fruits and veggies with clean water. Dry off the produce and store it in its proper place.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e04138\"><strong>YL tip:<\/strong><\/span> To make it even easier, let your produce soak in your sink. Simply cleanse it first with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/us\/en\/product\/thieves-household-cleaner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thieves Household Cleaner<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to wash all of your produce at once, cleaning with our fruit and vegetable wash is so quick and easy that you can even do it as you prep your meal. All it takes is a few minutes for clean, fresh produce.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e04138\"><strong>YL tip:<\/strong><\/span> Your produce should not taste like the Thieves soak. If it does, it could mean that you added too much solution or that you didn\u2019t rinse well enough. Rinse again and you should be good to go!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1206.4px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3><span style=\"color: #e04138\"><strong>Fruit and veggie cleaning on the go<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Does vinegar kill bacteria on fruits and vegetables?
