Solutions for Fruit Flies

Go ahead and wash fruits with inedible skins, such as oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, and bananas, too. Bacteria on the skin surface of these fruits could easly be transferred to the edible part when the fruit is being peeled or sliced. With cold, clear water, lightly scrub the outside skin surface, either with your hands or a soft brush. Then dry with a clean dish towel or paper towels. Simple as that!

Oh, one last thing: I'm sure that at one time or another you've brought home bananas only to be plagued by an onslaught of those annoying little fruit flies a few days later. Well ... wash and dry your bananas, too. Just remember to do it AS SOON as you bring them home from the supermarket. If you do it right away, you won't have those annoying little buggers swarming around the fruit bowl.
