Default Washing Fruit Prior To Consumption...

I rinse apples and grapes by holding them under the tap water before
eating them. I often wonder if I am getting "pesticide residue" off
these fruits before I eat them? Would they be better rinsed if I
filled the sink with cold water and let them "soak" for a while to
remove the residue? I saw on tv there are more germs in the kitchen
sink than in the toilet. I suppose there is just not an effective and
easy way to clean your fruits before eating.

Interesting. If you are wrong so am I. I just rinse too.
