Koala Eco's Fruit & Vege Wash removes residual pesticides, oils, waxes and agricultural chemicals from fruit and vegetables, leaving no aftertaste behind. Even organically grown produce is vulnerable to drift spray, human handling, mould spores and dirt, and a simple rinse may not suffice.
Which One Do I Need?
- 500ml Bottle. The push-pull top bottle that lives by the sink.
- 1L Refill. Twice the volume at less than twice the price, to top the bottle up rather than replace it.
Key Features
- Removes residue. Pesticides, oils, waxes and agricultural chemicals.
- No aftertaste. It rinses clean.
- Biodegradable and septic safe. Suitable for a home on a tank.
- Plant-based. With no synthetic fragrance.
- Just five ingredients. All of them named.
- Two sizes. 500ml bottle, or 1L refill.
Pūrē Standard
- Organic produce is not exempt, which is the point. Koala Eco make the argument well: even organically grown fruit and veg picks up drift spray from neighbouring farms, human handling, mould spores and dirt on the way to you. Water alone does not shift wax or oil. That is the reason this exists.
- Five ingredients, every one named. Water, alkyl polyglucoside, gluconolactone, sodium benzoate and mandarin essential oil. On something you are washing food with, a short and fully disclosed list is the whole ballgame.
- No aftertaste. The failure mode for a produce wash is food that tastes faintly of soap. This rinses clean.
- Biodegradable and septic safe. Fine going down the drain and fine on a tank system.
- Refillable, in a bottle already made from waste. 100% post-consumer recycled, recyclable and reusable, with a 1L refill so the bottle keeps working.

Our Take
The argument that convinced us: even organic produce picks up drift spray, handling and dirt on the way to your kitchen, and a rinse under the tap does not shift wax or oil.
