You don't need a store-bought cleaner to remove dirt and insecticides from your fresh produce either. Just mix a quarter of a cup of baking soda in a sink full of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in the solution, then rinse with clean water.

    Seems baking soda is good for everything.

    I was just wondering if this extends the time the veggies and fruits stay fresh while in the fridge.
