Description
ECOS Plant Powered Fruit + Veggie Wash is a ready-to-use spray designed to rinse away wax, oil and the dirt you can't always see on fresh produce. It comes in a 650 mL trigger spray bottle, making it an easy one-step addition to prepping fruit and vegetables before they hit the chopping board.
What It's Designed to Do
This wash rinses away wax, oil and unseen dirt from the surface of fruit and vegetables. It's also great for soaking, so leafy greens and delicate produce can go straight into a bowl of water with a spray of wash rather than being scrubbed by hand. The trigger spray makes it easy to target firmer produce like apples, cucumbers and stone fruit directly, while the soaking method suits softer items such as berries, herbs and salad leaves that don't hold up well to scrubbing.
A Simple, Plant-Powered Formula
ECOS keeps the ingredient list short:
- Water
- Alcohol Denat. (plant-derived solvent)
- Caprylyl/Myristyl Glucoside (plant-derived surfactant)
- Potassium Sorbate (preservative)
- Citric Acid (plant-derived pH adjuster)
The formula is chlorine free, readily biodegradable and 100% vegan, and it's Leaping Bunny certified cruelty free. ECOS also meets EPA Safer Choice standards for human and environmental health, and the brand is family owned, women owned and describes itself as Climate Positive Clean, restoring more than 100% of the carbon, water and energy used to make the product back to the earth.
How to Use It
Shake well before use, then spray produce directly and rub lightly for 20 to 30 seconds before rinsing. For leafy vegetables, spray the leaves and soak them in water before rinsing thoroughly. Keep in mind that natural ingredients mean colour and consistency can vary slightly from batch to batch, and the wash is an eye irritant, so rinse with water if it gets in your eyes and keep the bottle out of reach of children.
Who This Suits
The spray format suits anyone who wants to prep produce quickly without filling a sink, from a quick spritz on apples and cucumbers to a proper soak for spinach or lettuce. It's a good option for households already using ECOS elsewhere in the laundry or cleaning cupboard, and for anyone who prefers a straightforward, short ingredient list over a longer chemical one.
If your household already relies on ECOS for laundry, the brand's Plant Powered Laundry Detergent Sheets are a fragrance-free match for sensitive skin. You'll also find more low-tox options for the home in our eco-friendly home range.
