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?
i buy that idea. thks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! No harm trying, rite? Just like you, I will normally soak them with salt water 1st before eating.
ReplyDeletehmm, didnt know that :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog :)
wow! cool never know such way. :) okie will try i guess. hehe
ReplyDeleteGood tip!! :) Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletewei no nee so mah farn la...just get a bottle of those fruit and vege cleaner liquid. just a drop and all become "shining" jor.
ReplyDeletelike that also can ah?
ReplyDeletehey! thanks for the tip, but i agree, one more round with the salt
ReplyDeleteelaine: see effective or not...
ReplyDeleteinspiredmum: yeah at times the whitish thing is there...
renjac: me too.. didnt know..
caroline: geli or not?
kathy: serious ah.. that tupperware one? colgate free ma.. hahaha...
angel: hope so..
chrisau: dare to try?
lily: yes, salt is the best..
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?
ReplyDeletelook great and clean.
ReplyDeletetry with salt i guess the same outcome.
ginny: i havent tried it before.. these pics came from the email.. it is like using toothpaste to clean our teeth..maybe if wash it thoroughly, it might work..
ReplyDeletechvoon: i rendam with salt normally but sometimes the whitish layer still there..
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!
ReplyDeleteI always peel off the skin before eating :) I know very ' mah fann' but my Piggies only eat without skin, so this Momsie seldom want to buy grapes ;p
ReplyDeletefely: there is a name for it.. i forgot to post it up.. sigh...
ReplyDeleteelin: i lazy to peel and i normally buy those seedless too.. just pop them inside the mouth..
wow, never heard of this way before. i'll give it a try next time...of course, i'll still soak them in salt water after that, like you :D
ReplyDeleteSo shiny the grapes look... just like our teeth after brushing! haha!
ReplyDeleteGee..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.
ReplyDeleteWah...so clean hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI think I don't want to eat any of them. :D
ReplyDeletewoah...cool tip =D
ReplyDeletehmmm... I love to eat, can I have some, hehe! thanks for dropping by
ReplyDeleteFirstly,according to me,the very idea of washing grapes with Colgate seemed weird to me.But after going through your post,maybe it's worth a try.Thanks.
ReplyDeletebarb: yah,like geli to eat like that, hor..
ReplyDeleteleona: camera trick?
mummygwen: yes, salt is the ultimate choice..
sjb: i agree!
tekkaus: geli, right? end up not buying grapes..
yanz: dare to try?
hisunfailinglove: sure, by all meanhs.. :p
webdesign: wonder it really works or not...
I read this e mail before, but never try. Like Elin, normally i will peel the skin and eat.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI'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. :)
ReplyDeleteeeh?...learned from who ? you can use colgate to give your silver necklace or pendant a good shine - really.
ReplyDeletewow very clean.. but i use to soak with salt water too.. ;)
ReplyDeleteannie: yes, email..wonder whether harmful or harmless
ReplyDeletemnhl: so easy hor....
slavemom: wah,..so much work.. sigh..
ahngao: that i know.. safer too..
cathJ: i dare not try la.. hahaa...
Wah, everyone so rajin. I just rinse in water and makan! Is the white stuff bad for you? Wuoldn't soaking in salt water make the grapes salty instead of sweet? hehehehe......
