You can use vinegar to get rid of and wash pesticides off strawberries and other fruits.

To use vinegar to wash pesticides off strawberries fill a bowl with 4 parts of water to 1 part of vinegar and then place the strawberries into the bowl and allow the strawberries to soak in the vinegar and water solution.

Allow the strawberries to soak in the vinegar for around 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes remove the strawberries and then rinse them under water in the sink.

The vinegar will help remove the pesticides from the strawberries and the water will wash the vinegar and pesticides away.

This is how I clean my strawberries as well as other fruits to get rid of pesticides and it works great.

Cleaning pesticides off fruit is better for your health because the pesticides that can be left on fruits can be harmful to your health eventually.
