Pesticides are supposed to be chemicals that kill pests ONLY but it has long lasting effects to the soil, plant and its immediate environment. Prolonged exposure to pests can lead to the slow death of the nutrients found in the soil and at the same time, to the fruits. It doesn’t matter whether the fruit is imported or domestic, there is pesticide present.

Normally water is used to rinse away any of this pesticide residue. To do this, the faucet is turned on and the fruits, vegetables and other produce are placed beneath the running water. However, there are several products that claim that they have better capacity in removing the pesticide residue than water.
