I rinse them under the faucet. Not sure how well it works, most pesticides seep inside the skin of the fruit and can not be washed off......

Well it depends.
I generally wash vegetables and don't wash fruits.
I usually buy fruits in bags, so people (except factory workers with stringent cleanliness rules) can't touch them.
I often eat tomatos cucumber and mushrooms raw without washing them too.

Yes, I heard that people put bleach on their vegetables that is a big mistake because it cause cancer. I suggest you get those vegetable and fruit cleaners that specialize in something like that.

Rara,
Honestly no, I do not always wash fruit I buy. But vegetables I do.

yes. you should. because
1 there can be pesticide buildup that can make you sick
2 things can deficate (poo) on the fruit in the feild
3 the fruit couldve fallen on the ground during packing or shiping
4 the packing workers talk while they work. this means they spit while they work. which means the spit gets on the fruit

Yes, even the ones that say 'pre-washed and ready to eat'. I don't trust anyone to be as thorough at washing them as I am.

No, but I wish I did, I just forget. If I raise it myself I wipe it off, since I believe washing it changes the taste.

Yes and then I go ahead and cut them the way I intend for them to be when I need them and put them in the proportions needed.

You should!!
Never know who touched them, where they have been sitting, or what insecticides, etc have been sprayed on them.
If you don't wash them -- you might as well eat anything you pick up off the ground! Gross!!
