Washing Grapes With Colgate

Just wanna share this email I received from a friend.. about washing grapes with colgate!
Well, I think no harm in trying... cos the grapes we buy back from supermarkets are visibly seen and thinned with a whitish "paint"... right?
What I do normally is to soak them with lots of salt and water for at least half an hour...

After reading this email, I will try washing it with Colgate... or Darlie.. (can or not, I wonder)

normal appearance of grapes....

put some colgate on the gloves...
(use hands, can or not?)

wash wash.... no need to soak..

There.... so clean...
but i think i will still soak them with salt..
at least for awhile...what do you think?

  8. Well, you got great pictures, and it does look like it cleans well, but....swallowing toothpaste is poison to small children, all it takes is a bit the size of a pea. My great nephew ate some and had to go into the hospital. But i guess as long as you rinse it off the grapes really good?

  11. The grapes we get here in the UK are covered in those white-ish stuff as well but I don't think they're harmlful. I'll do a bit of research to find out what they are and let you know. I do like the look of those sparkling grapes though! Lol!

  16. Gee..I'm the laziest person ever. I just wash with water only. The grapes are so shiny. Yes no harm trying and wash with salt water for the final rinse.

  21. I read this e mail before, but never try. Like Elin, normally i will peel the skin and eat.

  22. I love to eat grapes but never bother to really clean off the whitish paint on the skin le. I just simply wash with water and pop into my mouth. Aiyo...now must think again. hehe

  23. I'd be cautious washing with toothpaste coz usually the grapes r exposed when we peel it off its stem. Anyway, wat I do is to soak in water then wipe with clean wet cloth. But quite a lot of work loh, can oni wipe a few at a time. :)
