Abode Fruit & Veggie Wash 600ml
Description
Abode Plant-Based Fruit & Veggie Wash
Safely clean your fresh produce with Abode Plant-Based Fruit & Veggie Wash. Formulated by building biologists and naturopaths in Australia, this ultra-concentrated produce wash uses 100% food-grade, plant-derived ingredients to break down and lift away waterproof agricultural waxes, pesticides, soil, dirt, and heavy surface handling residues.
Washing with plain tap water simply can't break down stubborn, oil-based waxes. Abode emulsifies these residues without leaving any taste, smell, or chemical film behind—leaving your berries, apples, leafy greens, and root vegetables clean and ready to eat.

Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
Why is washing fruits and vegetables in water alone not enough?
Agricultural sprays, fungicides, and protective waxes are specifically engineered to be waterproof so they don't wash off in the rain. Tap water alone cannot dissolve or lift these oil-based compounds, nor does it remove residues left behind from transport and handling. Abode uses mild plant-derived glucosides to safely emulsify these surface coatings so they rinse away completely.
Does Abode Fruit & Veggie Wash leave a taste or smell on produce?
No. The formula is 100% fragrance-free and flavorless. Once rinsed, it leaves zero aftertaste or chemical film on your food.
How do you use Abode Fruit & Veggie Wash?
Using Abode is quick and effortless:
-
Fill: Add a small squirt (approx. 5ml) into a sink or bowl filled with cool water.
-
Soak: Immerse your fruit and vegetables and gently swirl/wash for 30 seconds.
-
Rinse: Rinse produce thoroughly under clean running water, then dry or serve.
Is Abode Fruit & Veggie Wash safe for all produce, including berries?
Yes! It is safe for hard-skinned produce (apples, pears, cucumbers, peppers) as well as soft, delicate fruits like strawberries, grapes, and leafy greens. Tip: Wash soft berries just before consuming to preserve their shelf life.
Is this produce wash vegan, greywater-safe, and eco-friendly?
Yes. Abode Fruit & Veggie Wash is 100% plant-based, cruelty-free, vegan, biodegradable, and septic/greywater safe. Made in Australia with renewable ingredients, it contains no harsh environmental pollutants.
