I rinse salad greens in plain tap water, same for fruit like cherries and grapes. Other fruit gets the vegetable brush treatment with plain water, no need to scrub them as one would potatoes. Watermelon, canteloope and other melons get brushed with soap and water. With the watermelon, I always feel like I am washing an infant when I am rinsing it, lol.
