#2 Apples: Wash (see below). Be sure to peel where the stem was once attached. This is a nice little holding spot for the pesticides.
#3 Spinach: I buy only organic on this one. It is pre-washed and reasonably priced.
#4 Peaches: The fuzzies hold the pesticide, so be sure to rub off all the fuzzies when you wash your peach.
I like to use a commercial fruit and vegetable wash called 'FIT'. I prefer this because I never worry about it going bad/spoiling.
However, if you would like to make your own cleaner. Here's a recipe:
1 cup each water and distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 lemon, juiced
It's the lemon I worry about spoiling, but maybe I don't need to because the vinegar is a preservative.
Now you know too!
