They make a vegetable and fruit sanitizer but looking at the picture makes me really question if its large enough to clean large romaine lettuce leaves.

Does anyone have any advise on these type of products? Safely cleaning all the bacteria and pesticides from food seems worth the time and cost. Even organic food can be full of bacteria.

JMO as I try to keep gadgets to a minimum - I think those fancy machines could be an expensive rip off - and I'm not sure they can really do the job. And, what happens when they break - more trash for the landfill?

Using a dedicated and clean strong plastic bin with no cuts in it (and one that has never had meat or old food in it), I would just wash food with one drop of IODINE in the second to last rinse water - after using a produce wash from citrus in the first wash water or two.

If veggies are washed and stored in the fridge, always wash again just before eating or cutting to steam. A clean veggie brush is good - be sure it is dedicated to veggies and kept clean (don't let it float around in the sink).

It's best to avoid the cut veggies in little bags. If bagged baby carrots are a must, wash them before eating.

Always wash salad just before eating, even if it's prewashed.

And, it's also best to always buy whole fruit versus cut fruit. You don't know how well the fruit was washed at the store before cutting.

For all melons, or any food you cut, it should be thoroughly washed and set on a fresh, clean plate or tray to cut (not on the counter).
