 Like it alotFeb 14, 2011
By Laura Smith
"justresearch"
When I asked what the main ingrediant in this product was I was told it was vinegar. My grandmother used to use vinegar to clean fruits and it works great, but it has a strong smell and often that smell can stick to the surface of the fruit. Fit has no unpleasant scent and it does a great job. You can see how much more dirt comes off than when just using water. Plus it's kosher which is a plus for the times when I have my 2 modern orthodox jewish friends and their kids over.
One reviewer says the plastic bowl has BPA. As someone who tries to avoid BPA plastics for anything that handles my food I tried to verify this. The bottom of the white bowl has a 5 recycling number so it looks like this collander is BPA free.

 Nice for those who eat a lot of produceJun 27, 2009
By Jennifer Mayer
"Mom to Banshees"
We eat a lot of fresh produce, so I like to have this around. I fill up the bowl and use it over and over to wash all the produce that I've brought home from the store, or that I'm using that night. The bowl is a bit smaller than I had anticipated - I was expecting something closer in size to a standard colander, and it is quite a bit smaller than that. However, it's still generally plenty big enough for any one item I may be using, and it's easy enough to do a couple of batches.
One other thing that my help to know is that the "jugs" are for use in the bowl, and you are supposed to use one full cap per bowl full of water. This means that the jug is used up fairly quickly if you use it every day, so it's good to be aware of that. It is pretty inexpensive, though - I just tend to use it when I know I'll be using it twice or more. (On two or more bowls of veggies.)
It isn't a must-have, but for people like us who do eat a lot of fresh foods, it is a nice extra bit of insurance.

Proof is in the bowlJul 08, 2010
By Chuck Gosh
"Great news! We're not killing the Earth. It will still be here."
Anytime we wash fresh fruits and veggies in Fit, it's obvious how well it works.
The ridiculously dirty water that's left behind is a solid reminder that we used to eat all that crud. No thanks.
We used to get Fit in stores; the price always got higher and higher until they stopped selling it. Finding it on Amazon at a reasonable price is terrific.
We swirl a few batches of food in a bowl of water with Fit. Avoid washing food you won't consume within a few days, since cleaning off the outer layer of any food can limit storage life.

It's unbelievable how much gunk is on produce until you use this stuff!May 04, 2011
By Nazarlik_Eyes
I started using this stuff several years ago but its availability has been sporadic until I discovered it was being sold on Amazon and then I was thrilled! Before I discovered this stuff I was using antibacterial dish washing soap to wash my produce and it always left a soapy residue and aftertaste. This stuff leaves no aftertaste and removes more gunk than soap. A couple of things about it.
1. Use it when you are ready to consume your produce because it washes off those nasty preservatives in addition to the pesticides. Once you wash off the preservatives the produce has about a 48-hour shelf life.
2. This is really useful for those that actually eat the recommended amount of fruits and veggies everyday. It's too expensive for those that eat the occasional tomato.
The bowl and strainer are a nice little bonus but not really big enough to wash more than a pound of tomatoes or a couple of bunches of cilantro at a time. Also, for people who scoff at the idea of being so anal about washing produce that you intend to consume raw, I once washed a head of romaine lettuce and found a tapeworm in the water.
Happy washing!

 NiceSep 27, 2009
By Lettie
I like this because it makes me feel better. I can't say for sure what it does, but it definitely makes me feel safe. The strainer is a little flimsy so I try to be careful with it. It's also probably a little over-priced. You really only need the solution since the strainer is not special.
