Along with summer comes the consumption of more fruits and veggies, at least for my family! With the hot weather who wants to bake or cook? NOT I!!! I have been looking into fruit and veggie washes, but was not really sure how effective they were. I came across the company Eat Cleaner, started by Mareya when her dad was diagnosed with prostate and bladder cancer and was put on a diet of clean fruit, veggies and lean protein. Due to early detection and a healthy diet, he is still alive today! This traumatic experience led to Mareya to create Eat Cleaner.
When it comes to health, we all want to do the right thing but half-truths and inconclusive information can clutter an otherwise logical vision. Our EAT CLEANER mission is to set the record straight on what’s on our plates and help everyone take matters into their own hands. It goes beyond a product. It’s a way of life. ~Mareya
Eat Cleaner carries products for the home and commercial use. These products include fruit+veggie wash, biodegradable produce wipes, and fresh seafood+poultry wash, as well as gift baskets and value kits. I was sent the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Wash Spray and the 40 ct. Biodegradable Wipes Canister to review. Eat Cleaner’s products are tasteless, odorless, all natural, and lab tested to wash better than water. The fruit+veggie spray inhibits browning, helps food last up to 200% longer, and is even safe to clean your counter-tops, utensils and hands! A 14 day lab test proved that the spray increased shelf life of fruits and veggies by 200% when cleaned with Eat Cleaner Fruit and Vegetable Wash! This is amazing because this will save you money in the long run since your produce will not go bad so fast! The canister contains wipes that can be used for a variety of purposes: remove surface contaminants, pesticide residues, waxes and organic particles from both commercially and organically grown produce! The wipes can also be used to clean counter-tops and cutting surfaces as well as utensils, hands and even binkies! Basically, these wipes can be used to clean just about anything that has the potential to come into contact with your mouth! No rinsing is required after using the wipe.
I am super excited to be trying out these products! I try to buy as much organic produce as I can, but that doesn’t mean that they are completely contaminant free! You really never know who or what has touched your produce! I have been in the market for a fruit and veggie wash and I really liked the story behind Eat Cleaner, so I thought this would be a great place to start! I used the spray on a bowl of organic apples. They felt a little waxy, so I sprayed them and let them sit in the sink for a minute or two. Then I rinsed them off. The waxiness had come off most of the apples! The spray nozzle is also impressive, it has a wide spray zone and only took three-four sprays to cover all the apples.
You can purchase these and other items directly from Eat Cleaner’s website! There is a flat rate shipping fee of $6.99 for shipping within the contiguous US. Also don’t forget to sign up for the Cleaner Plate Club newsletter and you will receive 25% off your first purchase!
I was impressed with Eat Cleaner’s products and apparently so are others: Eat Cleaner is the winner of the Disney iParenting Award and a Trusted Partner of Healthy Child Healthy World. I recommend Eat Cleaner produce wash and wipes to anyone that desires to have cleaner food and a healthier lifestyle!
