Most washing relies on friction, moving dirt off the surface. But many residues, including certain pesticides and bacteria, bind more tightly to your produce.

Crop DeTox works differently. Using electrolysis, it changes the properties of the water itself, helping break down and lift what a simple rinse can leave behind.

Most home methods only get you part of the way there.

Tap water removes 20-60% of bacteria and pathogens and 20-40% of pesticide residue.

A fruit and veg wash does slightly better at 30-60% bacteria and 30-50% pesticide.

Baking soda performs similarly on bacteria (30-60%) but climbs to around 80% for pesticide residue, though it can affect texture.

Vinegar is the strongest of the home methods for bacteria at 50-90%, but only removes 10-25% of pesticide residue and can leave a flavour behind.

Crop DeTox is the only lab-tested method, removing up to 99.9% of bacteria and pathogens and up to 91% of pesticide residue, with no impact on taste or texture, no chemicals, and no aftertaste.

Crop DeTox uses electrolysis to transform the water around your produce. Same simple water. Doing something extraordinary. No chemicals added, just a natural process that's been understood by science for over a century.

A natural alkaline solution that dissolves oil-based pesticide residues the ones that cling to the skin of your produce and don't budge with water alone.

Nothing added. Nothing left behind. Just your food, actually clean.

Is Crop DeTox safe to use on food my kids will eat?

Yes, completely. Crop DeTox uses electrolysis, a natural process that creates no harmful byproducts. The compounds it produces, HOCl and NaOH, occur naturally and break down safely in water. No chemicals are added to your food at any point. A quick rinse after the cycle and it's done.

Does Crop DeTox add any chemicals to my produce?

No. Nothing is added, not to the water, not to your food. Electrolysis works by transforming what's already in the water. The process creates HOCl and NaOH naturally, they do their job, and then they're gone. What you're left with is clean produce and clean water.

How is Crop DeTox different from just washing fruit and vegetables with water?

Water removes surface dirt. That's about it. It can't penetrate the waxy coating on most produce, which means oil-based pesticide residues stay exactly where they are. Crop DeTox uses electrolysis to create HOCl, which kills bacteria, and NaOH, which breaks down those oil-based residues. Water alone can't do either of those things.

What does Crop DeTox actually remove from produce?

Two things. Bacteria, up to 99.9% of surface bacteria is eliminated by HOCl, the natural antibacterial compound produced during the cycle. And oil-based pesticide residues -- broken down by NaOH, the natural alkaline solution also produced during the cycle. Both are independently lab tested.

How long does a Crop DeTox cycle take?

Crop DeTox 2.0 has two cycle options -- 6 minutes and 10 minutes. The 6-minute cycle handles everyday fruit and vegetables. The 10-minute cycle is for produce with thicker skins or anything you want to give more attention. There's also a gentle mode for more delicate items like berries and herbs.

Does Crop DeTox work on all fruit and vegetables?

Yes. Use the 6-minute cycle for everyday produce including berries, leafy greens, and delicate items. Use the 10-minute cycle for thicker-skinned produce like apples, cucumbers, capsicum, and root vegetables. The gentle mode is ideal for very delicate items.

The device is plastic, does that mean plastic touches my food?

No. Crop DeTox is a waterproof tech device and the plastic housing protects the electronics inside -- the same way a phone has a case. The device sits in the water alongside your produce but doesn't touch your food directly. The electrolysis process happens in the water around it.

Do I need to buy refills or replacement parts?

Is Crop DeTox independently tested?

I already buy organic produce. Do I still need Crop DeTox?
