Fruit & Vegetable Drum Washer

Gently rub produce while holding under plain running water. There's no need to use soap or a produce wash. Use a clean vegetable brush to scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers. Dry produce with a clean cloth or paper towel to further reduce bacteria that may be present.Nearly all of our research found that the washes you can find in the store aren't any more effective than common household products or even just water alone. The University of Maine tested produce washes to see how well they removed microbes and found them no more effective than a soak in distilled water.
