Choose the routine, not the loudest claim.
Spray, tablet, device, pantry ingredient or plain water: every option has a real strength and a real tradeoff. Start with the comparison closest to how you already wash produce.
The FDA recommends washing produce under running water and does not recommend commercial produce washes. ProduceTabs is an optional, complete-rinse routine; it is not a sanitizer and cannot reach residue inside produce. Read the FDA guidance.

Read the comparison →How ComesOff compares fairly
- We compare the real routine: measuring, waiting, rinsing, storage and upkeep.
- We separate a brand’s published claim from independent evidence.
- We say when the other option is cheaper, faster, better certified or more established.
- We do not turn one study on one food and two pesticides into a universal promise.
- We re-check public facts and date every branded comparison.
Comparison questions
Which option is cheapest?+
Running water is free, and baking soda or vinegar usually has the lowest pantry cost. ProduceTabs is a premium convenience format: the price pays for a pre-measured tablet and complete formula, not a claim that cheaper routines are invalid.
Which option does the FDA recommend?+
The FDA recommends washing produce thoroughly under running water and says commercial produce washes are not recommended. Every ComesOff comparison states that baseline instead of hiding it.
Are these independent comparisons?+
No. ComesOff makes ProduceTabs. Branded pages are based on the manufacturers’ current public information and clearly disclose authorship. They are not head-to-head laboratory tests.
Can any washing method remove systemic pesticides?+
No topical wash can reach pesticide residue already absorbed inside the flesh. Washing methods act on the outside; peeling can remove peel but also removes part of the produce.
Prefer to see the routine first?
Learn exactly what happens in the bowl, what the tablet can reach and where every produce wash stops.
