I wouldn't use dish soap at all. If you feel the need to use more
than just water to soak and rinse your veggies, there are vgetable
washes available in stores. Usually though, all you need is a good
soak and a rinse to remove any dirt or residues.

I've read not to use soap on your food. It may not fully rinse off.

Call me daring but I just use water to rinse. I do try to buy organic but
this doesn't always happen. I bought a bunch of produce today and none of
it was organic. The store I was at does have organic but not a lot of
selection.

I just rinse veggies or fruits well with tepid tap water.

I just rinse with cold water and usually use a little veggie scrub
brush.
