At least, according to CleanBoss, the non-toxic disinfectant brand behind the patented fruit and vegetable washer that’s finally back in stock after selling out more than 10 times.
Produce safety is especially top of mind as a viral diarrhea-causing parasite, Cyclospora, has spread across the U.S., with thousands of reported cases since May.
Per guidance from the Food & Drug Administration, there are several safety precautions you can take when shopping for and preparing fruits and vegetables. And, there are also plenty of products designed to help clean produce more effectively than water alone.
CleanBoss Fruit and Veggie Spray is touted by the manufacturer to remove up to 99.9% of wax, chemicals, pesticides, germs and bacteria, including those associated with Listeria and E. coli. According to third-party lab testing, the spray cleans produce 95% better than water alone.
Reviewers say that the flavorless, odorless formula comes with some unexpected perks, too — and it’s among the reasons they’ve found themselves eating more fruits and vegetables.
“I won’t go back to just rinsing in water!” one customer explained. “You won’t believe what comes off your ‘fresh’ veggies when you rinse them in Clean Boss. The taste of really clean fruits and veggies is outstanding, and the colors are so much brighter after cleaning with the Clean Boss solution.”
Beyond the fresher taste, many reviewers say CleanBoss has also helped extend the lifespan of their fruits and vegetables, with some reporting that their produce stays fresh much longer after spraying.
“I had a bag of apples that were spoiling,” one user shared. “I removed them from original packaging, threw out compromised apples, used CleanBoss on the rest, then stored them in a new bag. They just lasted and lasted and were so fresh and crisp, I could not believe it.”
Other CleanBoss fans discuss similar benefits. Longer-lasting, fresher produce and less shopping needed to replace what’s been spoiled. According to the brand, CleanBoss can help extend the shelf life of produce by up to five times, potentially reducing food waste and helping families save money.
The spray starts at $25 for a 12 oz bottle. Shoppers can save an additional 10% when they subscribe.
