While we have discussed many amazing ways that LEMON Essential Oil can be beneficial in your life, there is more!
Did you know that you can use LEMON to clean your produce that you bring home to eat? Just place produce in a bowl. Cover with three parts water and one part white vinegar (for every three cups of water use one cup of vinegar). Then for every cup of water, add three Drops of LEMON Essential Oil and let it soak, stirring occasionally, for 10–15 minutes.
If you don’t have time to soak your produce when you come home, that’s okay! Use this spray instead.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE SPRAY RECIPE
• 1 1/2 c. Water
• 1/2 c. Vinegar
• 10 drops LEMON Essential Oil
Combine all ingredients in a 16-ounce GLASS spray bottle and shake to combine (you will want to shake before each use). Spray on fruit or vegetable and let sit for five to ten minutes. Rinse well and enjoy, or you can dry with a clean cloth (or let your food air dry) and put away.
This helps with not only the unpleasant microorganisms from other people handling the produce, but also that wax coating you find on some fruits and vegetables.
