Practicing good food hygiene is a powerful health habit. One thing you may not know about me is that I’m a bit OCD about washing my produce. Ever since our kids were little, I’ve wash all our fresh produce faithfully, and it’s paid off.
So, I want to introduce a timely new product (and no, I’m not an affiliate… yet).
With a quick 3-minute soak using this product, we can safely remove parasitic eggs, pesticide sprays, toxins falling from the sky onto our gardens, and remains of anything from the warehouse/shipping cargo hold/truck that was crawling on our produce like cockroaches or rodents. I admit I think about things like that. ;-0
On Mike Adam’s Health Ranger Report he featured chlorine dioxide in his podcast. His endorsement has played a significant role in spreading awareness about the new, unique and very inexpensive Chlorine dioxide product by Safrax – now in tablet form.
Not only does 1 Safrax tablet wash a whole sink-full of produce with zero toxicity, but the tablets can also disinfect a hot tub and remove biofilms in water lines, remove ANY smell from a car, room, or building, or remove mold or mold smell from a room or building. (Read how here).
In the food industry, Chlorine dioxide is regularly used to disinfect fruits, vegetables, cheese and milk products, bakery, meat and poultry products. (Food Safety News). So why not at home?
Also, this is a great thing to have in a grid down situation, as these tablets can increase quality of life safely. If you are considering how to prepare for what may be ahead in our country, this is worth knowing.
The first 5-7 minutes:
How to Wash Produce with Chlorine Dioxide (CD):
I have been washing my produce with Chlorine Dioxide (CD) using this Part A and Part B kit to activate CD on site here in my home for 3 years. I know my food is free of things that can silently make us sick. CD has been unjustly vilified as dangerous for home use for many years by the powers that be (the 3 letter agencies), so once I researched CD’s true safety and effectiveness, I was on board! Now, with the Safrax disinfectant product, washing my produce from the garden or the grocery is faster and easier than ever.
In 1987, NASA proclaimed Chlorine Dioxide (then known as Alcide) to be a “Universal Antidote: “a multipurpose compound that destroys mold, fungus, bacteria and viruses without harming human, animals or plants”. (Read about it here on pg. 118).
Note the amazing germicidal properties of Chlorine Dioxide Solution. Notice the 5 minute contact time and the ppm concentration of CDS necessary to kill the Herpes Simplex Type 1 virus. The kill rate would likely be the same for Herpes Simplex 2 ( genital herpes).
Note: This product is NOT for internal use.
Soak Method
The soaking method is ideal for fresh-cut herbs, leafy greens, soft berries, grape clusters, broccoli bunches, and other produce with lots of nooks and crannies. Use a clean container, basin, bowl or sink for soaking. Fill with cold water, add 1 tablet. Place produce in the water-filled container and let soak for at least 3 minutes. Remove produce from water and place it in a clean colander. Allow the produce to drain and then let air dry before storing it.
Spray Method
The spray method is a good option for produce with firm skin and smooth shape, like apples, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, peppers, eggplant, etc. Add 1 tablet in a 33oz spray, then spray over produce while removing dirt and residue. Allow produce to air dry before storing.
You can also apply the same method to your Chicken, Meat and Fish as is done in many meat processing facilities!
Importantly, it meets the regulatory requirements of the FDA, the EPA, OSHA, and the USDA’s National Organic Program. (Food Safety News)
So there you have it.

Yay! Thank you, Jacqueline. This is just in time. I have been soaking in baking soda water because I know that can help with the chemicals on food. I also know borax can kill parasites/eggs (Dr. Hulda Clark’s books have great info on that). Looks like this is another, perhaps even better, option than those.
This has been on my mind this year, especially since one of my children immediately puked after eating a couple strawberries straight from the garden. She wasn’t sick at all. Later that day, she ate another strawberry from the garden, but nicely washed it and she was just fine.
Thanks,
Katie

Hi. So do you use the safrax or the A B kit? One part talks about tablets and one talks about the kit but the kit looks like it’s drops not a tablet. Also, safrax website is it the odor removal one you sue to clean produce? Or you only use the A B kit? Sorry, just trying to make sure I order the right product.
Jacqueline
Hi, Abby!
I’ve for a long while used the A/B kit and will continue to use it from time to time depending whether I’m processing large amounts of garden produce or grocery produce at my kitchen sink, but the tablets are more cost effective and easier (+faster) than waiting the 3 minutes for the A and B to mix and then adding it to my water.
I love both. They are just different ways of getting the same safe, shelf-life extending outcome.
And it is the “All-Purpose Disinfection & Odor” product that I ordered. In the video, Mike Adams explains that all 3 products are exactly the same product. You can use the one I ordered (disinfection) for spa and pools (spa and pools), as they are all interchangeable. They just decided to market it that way for clarity of use for the consumer.
Debbie
Hi. You don’t mention if the produce should be rinsed off after soaking before eating. Cabbage is such a tight all of leaves, so should it be cut apart before soaking? Thank you.
Jacqueline
Hi, Debbie,
Technically, with CD, there is no need to rinse produce off, but if what you are washing is the 3rd or 4th batch and there is residue or bits of produce in the water, I would.
Just know the CD is far cleaner (more pure) than the water coming your of your tap, so it is protective to the produce.
With a cabbage, I would not cut it apart as the inside of a cabbage should be pristine and the inner leaves have good bacteria on them that can start a sauerkraut to ferment.
I just generally remove the outer leaves that may be damaged and core it a little and then soak the whole head for 7-10 minutes, remove, let it drain and store it or cut it.
I hope that helps,
Jacque
Debie
Thank you, Jacque. That helps a lot.
Jane Horning
If used in a spray bottle, can the spray bottle be kept for future washes, or need to make up a fresh batch with each washing? Thanks!
Jacqueline
Hi, Jane,
I haven’t made a spray of it yet with Safrax, but I do know it will last longer if kept in a dark place (out of sunlight and UV rays).
I should just call them bc I didn’t see any time frame on their site, but if you beat me to it, would you let me/us know?
Thanks, ~J
Sue Beer
What about home grown food? Is it needed?
Jacqueline
Hi, Sue,
Well, I do wash our organically-grown produce because of the aluminum coming down from above: https://deeprootsathome.com/stealing-our-sunshine-climate-engineering/
Also because our soil is heavily composted (filled with live micro-organisms of all sorts and the occasional bird poop), and my husband usually picks for me and who knows what he just handled on the farm beforehand.
😀 It is still far better than what gets shipped in huge conveyances…
Hope that helps! ~J
Debbie
The only Safrax I see on Amazon is Heavy Duty Odor Removal. In reviews, people say a vapor comes off it that eliminates odors. Is this the one to use for cleaning fruits and veggies? What about the vapor? Thanks!
Jacqueline
Debbie,
No, that isn’t the one. In the post, find the section “How to Wash Produce with Chlorine Dioxide (CD)”. Down in the first paragraph in that section, see the words:
“Now, with the Safrax disinfectant product, washing my produce from the garden or the grocery is faster and easier than ever.”
Click the link for those words and you will go to the SAFRAX. Scroll down a bit, and you will see the one labeled “Safrax disinfectant product” in the middle. That’s it! 😀
Debbie
Hi again! Before I got your reply, I ordered the safrax, which was the odor remover one. So I ended up emailing Joe from Safrax to see what he’d have to say about the differences and here is his reply below.
“Hi Debbie,
Thank you so much for your interest in Safrax Chlorine Dioxide! Please note that our products each contain the exact same identical tablet and instructions. There are just different labels for different industries on the three products offered.
You can purchase conveniently on our secure online store:
https://safrax.com/shop/
Carton discounts are available by entering the quantity of 20, 40, or 60 in the box at checkout. (See wholesale chart by clicking on each product)
Blessings!
Joe
Safrax.com”
I ordered from Amazon, because there was no shipping. And this was the only safrax product they carry, but according to Joe they are all the same. I just don’t want to make my family sick from some chemicals because I went overboard. I’m going to trust what Joe says.
Jacqueline
Debbie, I had read somewhere on the Safrax site that all the options were the same product but using different names for the different purposes.
Thanks for asking and getting it sorted out!
Blessings to you,
Jacque
Candy
Too bad it can’t wash away APEEL!!!
Jacqueline
Candy, I am pretty sure you are correct, but I will call Safrax and ask just in case! ~J
