The Green Alcove Fruit & Vegetable Wash Powder — 4.2 oz Produce Cleaner, Natural Plant-Based Residue Remover

Keep fruits and vegetables cleaner using a gentle, plant-forward formula designed for everyday kitchen use. This 4.2 oz tub blends food-grade baking soda, tea saponin, kaolin clay and natural extracts such as lemon and perilla to lift grime and residues from skins and crevices. It rinses away clean so flavors stay true and your meals start with safer, fresher ingredients.

How does this powder actually clean my apples, berries, and lettuce?

The powder combines mild abrasive action from kaolin clay with surfactant properties of tea saponin and the pH-balancing effect of baking soda. Together they loosen waxes, dirt, and common residues so they can be rinsed away without aggressive scrubbing. Natural lemon and perilla extracts add gentle cleaning support while remaining food-safe.

• Kaolin clay: lifts particles and gentle on delicate skins.
• Tea saponin: plant-derived cleanser that helps break surface films.
• Baking soda: neutralizes light residues and supports rinsing.
• Natural extracts: boost cleaning without synthetic fragrances.

Will it change the taste or leave residue on my produce?

Designed to rinse away completely, the powder leaves no aftertaste or lingering scent when used as directed. Dissolve the recommended amount in water, soak briefly, and rinse under running water to remove both residues and the wash itself. The result is produce that looks cleaner and retains its natural flavor.

• Rinses completely when washed off thoroughly.
• No artificial fragrances or preservatives to alter flavor.
• Suitable for delicate items like berries and herbs.

How do I use the wash powder safely and effectively?

Measure the powder into a bowl or basin of water, submerge produce for a short soak, then gently agitate or rub as needed before a final rinse. Use a soft brush for firmer-skinned items and avoid prolonged soaking for delicate fruits. Store the dry powder in a cool, dry place and keep the lid closed between uses.

• Dissolve: follow package measurement per volume of water.
• Rinse: flush with clean water to remove loosened residues.
• Storage: keep sealed and dry to maintain effectiveness.
