I have been using the peroxide/vinegar (two separate bottles) to wash my produce (and even my poultry!) for about 14 years now, maybe longer.

But after reading the DIY Non-Toxic Cleaning Recipes ebook by Mommypotamus, I decided to include some EOs in my vinegar bottle…

First, why separate bottles?

Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, individually, do a great job of killing organisms. When used one right after another they are a powerhouse! Do not mix them, as they do not work well when mixed together.

To boost the vinegar, I added the following essential oils to a 6 ounce spray bottle:

• 15 drops Tea Tree EO
• 10 drops Lemon EO
• 5 drops Cinnamon Bark EO

I personally use the vinegar first, then peroxide, and then rinse - but you can really use them in any order.
