Is the advertised pesticide removal effect of the fruit and vegetable cleaner genuine?

The promotional claims of fruit and vegetable washers for removing agricultural residues may be true, but they should be approached with caution. During growth, fruits and vegetables may be contaminated by agricultural residues such as pesticides and fertilizers, and washing can help remove some of these residues. Washers typically use high-pressure spray nozzles and ultrasonic technology to effectively remove harmful substances like agricultural residues, dust, and bacteria from the surface of fruits and vegetables.

However, the effectiveness of a washer in removing agricultural residues depends on the quality of the washer and the method of use. High-quality washers may be more effective in removing residues, while low-quality ones may not be as effective. Moreover, washers can only clean residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables, not those inside. Therefore, for certain types of produce that absorb more residues, such as leafy vegetables, the effectiveness of the washer may be limited.

To better eliminate agricultural residues, consumers should also choose non-contaminated organic fruits and vegetables, and use cleaning machines correctly. Additionally, a combination of various cleaning methods (such as soaking, scrubbing, and high temperatures, etc.) may be more effective in removing agricultural residues.
