The Science — Crop DeTox

Most pesticide residue is oil-based. Rinsing was never going to lift it.

Here's what rinsing actually does to pesticide residue, and why electrolysis works when water alone never could.

$169 AUD
Lab tested to remove up to 97% of pesticide residue and over 99.99% of common bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella.

Most pesticide residue is oil-based, and oil and water don't mix. A rinse moves it around. It doesn't remove it.

That's not a flaw in how you've been washing your produce. It's just physics. Water was never the right tool for an oil-based problem, no matter how long you run the tap.

Electrolysis turns plain water into hypochlorous acid — the same compound your white blood cells make to fight infection. That's what removes the bacteria and pesticide residue from your produce.

Nothing is added to the water. The water itself does the work. Fill the sink, drop the device in, rinse after. Six minutes for a light load, ten for a full sink. No filters, no refills, nothing to replace.

Before there was a device, there was a conversation. We were introduced to electrolysis food purification by Sharon Kolkka, one of Australia's most respected wellness experts and co-author of Hormonal Harmony. She'd spent years talking about the surprisingly powerful role that what we eat, and how we clean it, plays in everyday health.

That conversation is where Crop DeTox started. Not in a lab, in a kitchen.

How Crop DeTox works

Electrolysis activates the water itself. Nothing added.

Your sink becomes the wash. Your tap water becomes the ingredient.

Drop the device in

Electrolysis activates the water in your sink.

Six or ten minutes

Six minutes for a light load, ten for a full sink.

Rinse after

Done. Nothing left behind on your food.

No chemicals
No filters, no refills
Water only
Safe every day

The active ingredient is one your body already makes. Electrolysis turns plain water into hypochlorous acid, the same thing your immune system uses to fight infection. Strong on bacteria and pesticide residue. Safe on your food.

Common questions

Straight answers about the wash, the science, and what it replaces.

No. Most pesticide residue is oil-based, and water alone doesn't break down oil. A rinse moves residue around the surface rather than removing it.

Electrolysis passes a small current through the water in your sink, activating it. This produces hypochlorous acid, which addresses bacteria, and a second compound that breaks down oil-based residue. Nothing is added to the water. The water itself does the work.

No. Crop DeTox uses only the water already in your sink. There's nothing to add, nothing to replace, and nothing to run out of.

Six minutes for a light load, ten for a full sink. Run it for longer if you have more produce in the water.

Yes. Electrolysis turns plain water into hypochlorous acid, the same compound your white blood cells make to fight infection. It's effective on bacteria and pesticide residue, and safe on the food you eat every day. Nothing is added to the water, and nothing is left behind after you rinse.

What customers say

★★★★★

I adore this little device it even travels with me. Been detoxing routinely for a few years now. My fruit and veggies last longer (even bananas) and taste sweeter, it removes that bitter chemical taste. Can't live without it now it's changed my life. Thanks Crop detox so thankful I found you.

I've been using the Crop DeTox for a little while now, and it's become part of my weekly fruit and veg prep routine. As a mum, we're going through a lot of fruit. Berries, grapes, apples, cucumbers... if my boy can snack on it, he's eating it. What I love most is how easy it is. I fill the sink, pop in the fruit and veg, press start, and let it do its thing while I get on with something else. It takes the guesswork out of washing produce and gives me extra confidence that we're getting rid of as much dirt and residue as possible.

I am so happy with this product. I really like being able to remove the pesticides on my fruit and veggies. To be honest, I wouldn't have believed it worked until a doctor who specialises in nutrition recommended it to me. I trust her and I trust this product.

I honestly love my crop detox! When I do my grocery shopping, I tip all my fruit and veggies in the sink, fill the sink with water and put the crop detox machine in. Turn it on and come back 20 mins later. Rinse the fruit and veg and put them away. Recharge the machine ready for next time. It reassures me I've got rid of any nasty pesticides, given I can't always afford organic produce. I strongly recommend this product for peace of mind.

This is such a great product. Not only cleans my produce from pesticides and other nasties but now the fruits and veggies last longer. I totally recommend Crop Detox to any household that prioritise eating healthy. Also the customer service is impeccable.

As soon as I return home with fresh fruit and veg I get out the crop detox and give them a quick wash, before storing ready for use. I am happy with my crop detox and wouldn't be without it.

Easy to use — no mess — and looks quite nice on my benchtop, too. My 13 year old grandson is a bit of a foodie and swears he can taste a difference. Not sure I can, to be honest, but just glad to know everything is nice and clean now, thank you!

I use it every week, even with my home grown fruit n veg. Love plopping it into a sink of water n produce and knowing it's all gonna be clean and safe for consumption.

Love that I can just dump everything in the sink and get on with other stuff. I used to skip washing ingredients more often than not coz it seemed like a hassle. This is much easier.
