      I would use baking soda to soak my vegetables and then rinse well.

        There is food grade hydrogen peroxide out there. That is what you would want to use. I have a whole case of it. I'd send you a bottle if I knew where you lived, lol You can order it on line if you do not have a store that sells it locally.

          When you can't buy organic, here is a soak or spray you can use to
          remove the harmful pesticides, especially from the worse, which are:
          Strawberries, Apples, Peaches, Plums, Spinach,

          Ingredients

          1 cup water

          1 cup distilled white vinegar

          1 tbsp baking soda

          1/2 of a lemon

          Directions

          Combine all ingredients in a large container. Transfer to a spray
          bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce and let sit for 5
          minutes. Scrub and rinse.

              I agree with python Why! There are plenty of other things to wash your vegetables in. Don't wash them in peroxide.

                Yes, you can use hydrogen peroxide; this would be very effective. Just be sure to rinse it off your vegetables throughly, because ingestion of hydrogen peroxide is toxic.

                  There is a food grade hydrogen peroxide to use. Do not use the stuff in your medicine cabinet. The food grade can be consumed.
