Here's what I found.

If you want to make sure that your veggies are really clean, and free of as many pesticides as possible. Try this easy washing system:

The Spray: Grab a small sprayer (around 16 -ounces), and fill with water. Add 2tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp baking soda. Shake gently before use. Spray over your fruits and veggies. Leave for 10 minutes, and then wipe or rinse off.

The Soak: This is great as a second step, but also perfect for leafy greens such as kale, spinach, lettuce etc. Fill a sink with cold water. Add 1 cup white vinegar and 1/4 cup salt. Swish around. Toss in your veggies. Leave to soak for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and you are good to go.

Tip: Although you should peel the skins of most fruits, you need to thoroughly clean fruits like berries. I would try “The Soak” for all your berries, but as they are delicate, just soak for 10 minutes. Don’t worry, the vinegar smell/taste will be non-existent after they have been gently rinsed.
