Kapanlagi.com - The outbreak of the Corona virus, also known as COVID-19, has prompted the government to urge people to #StayAtHome. In addition to minimizing the spread of COVID-19 infection, this step is taken to quickly overcome the Corona pandemic in Indonesia.

Spending days at home, people are now starting to adapt. Previously, they were used to buying fruits and vegetables at the market or maybe the supermarket, but now they are ordering online. It's a good step, because it allows for physical distancing.

So, have the vegetables and fruits ordered online been washed properly? After all, this virus is a micro particle and can spread through any medium. Therefore, to ensure that the vegetables and fruits you want to consume remain hygienic, you can try these proper washing tips.

Before starting to wash fruits and vegetables, make sure to wash your hands first. Especially if you have touched various objects. Wash your hands using soap under running water until clean. Do it for at least 10 seconds, so that viruses, bacteria, and germs that cause various diseases on your hands can die. Wash your hands again in the same way after washing fruits and vegetables.

2. Separate Fruits and Vegetables from Other Ingredients

Once done, separate fruits and vegetables from other ingredients when washing. Mixing all ingredients together, such as meat, fruits, and vegetables, actually risks cross-contamination. This means that bacteria from different ingredients can stick to vegetables and fruits. The correct way is to place them in a clean place, and then wash each fruit one by one.

3. Use Safe Soap to Wash Fruits and Vegetables

To be more hygienic, use safe soap to wash fruits and vegetables. This is because washing with water alone is not enough to remove bacteria from fruits and vegetables. You can rely on MAMA LIME. This hygienic dishwashing soap not only makes it clean and smooth to wash various eating and cooking utensils, but it is also safe to use for washing fruits and vegetables.

This is because MAMA LIME contains mineral salt and anti-bacteria agent food grade (BIOGUARD). This formula effectively cleans bacteria and pesticide residues that stick to fruits and vegetables. As a result, one drop of MAMA LIME, whether it's the LIME or GREEN TEA variant, not only effectively cleans bacteria and pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables more hygienically, but also makes the aroma fresher. Simply use one drop of MAMA Lime and dissolve it in a bowl of water. Wash the fruits and vegetables until clean and then rinse with running water. With MAMA LIME, everything is hygienic!
