Q1 |
: |
Does
all produce have pesticide residues? |
A1 |
: |
Approximately
95% of all vegetables and fruits have surface
chemical residues. Even some organically grown
produce may have chemical residues because of
contaminants in the soil.
|
|
|
|
Q2 |
: |
Can
the naked eye spot if a produce is contaminated? |
A2 |
: |
No,
these chemical contaminants are invisible to
the naked eye; only highly sophisticated testing
equipment can detect their presence.
|
|
|
|
Q3 |
: |
Can
E. Excel’s VegiWash effectively remove chemical
residues on the produce? |
A3 |
: |
Yes,
lab tests show that E. Excel’s VegiWash effectively
removes surface chemical residues on fruits
and vegetables. |
|
|
|
Q4 |
: |
Since
VegiWash is a type of detergent, can it be used
for cleaning ovens, countertops or dishes? |
A4 |
: |
No.
VegiWash is specially formulated for washing
fruits and vegetables and uses natural plant
essences. Dishwashing liquids contain oil-removing
ingredients and chemicals that create lots of
bubbles. If you wish, you can use VegiWash to
wash dishes etc, but the effect is not as good
as using dishwashing liquids, which contain
many chemicals.
|
|
|
|
Q5 |
: |
What
is the difference between VegiWash and dishwashing
liquids? |
A5 |
: |
Normal
detergent or dishwashing liquid contains surface-acting
ingredients derived from petroleum that are
hazardous when ingested. Washing produce with
normal detergents or dishwashing liquids may
result in their chemical ingredients remaining
on the surface of the produce after washing.
These detergents may even penetrate the skin
of the produce.
|
|
|
|
Q6 |
: |
Will
VegiWash remain on the produce after rinsing? |
A6 |
: |
No.
VegiWash is completely removed by rinsing with
water alone. It does not leave any residue on
the produce.
|
|
|
|
Q7 |
: |
Does
VegiWash affect the taste of the produce? |
A7 |
: |
No.
VegiWash will not affect the taste of the produce.
|
|
|
|
Q8 |
: |
Can
VegiWash remove waxes on the fruits? |
A8 |
: |
Yes,
VegiWash can remove wax and surface contaminants
such as pesticides, germs and molds. For harder
produce like apples or potatoes, rub them gently
during washing. For more tender fruits such
as grapes, merely soak them in VegiWash for
one to two minutes and rinse well with water.
|
|
|
|
Q9 |
: |
How
should I use VegiWash? |
A9 |
: |
Add one capful of VegiWash to one gallon of water. VegiWash is a concentrated solution; mixing it with water helps in effective removal of contaminants.
|
|
|
|
Q10 |
: |
For how
long must the fruit and vegetables soak in the
diluted solution of VegiWash to achieve the
cleansing effect? |
A10 |
: |
Soaking
for one to two minutes is sufficient to remove
most of the surface chemical contaminants.
|
|
|
|
Q11 |
: |
Can
I reuse the diluted VegiWash solution? |
A11 |
: |
Always use a new diluted VegiWash solution for optimum cleanliness. Do not reuse any diluted VegiWash solution as it may already contain chemical contaminants and will not be as effective.
