Dirty Dozen Foods

I would like to buy all organic, but it's more expensive, so I found this to be useful information...
The top 12 fruits and veggies that contain the highest amount of pesticides:

apples
bell peppers
celery
cherries
grapes
nectarines
peaches
pears
potatoes
raspberries
spinach
strawberries

The article listed these foods and said to always be sure to wash the fruits and veggies you buy from the store.  I wonder if running water of food really gets off the harmful chemicals?  I don't really think it can.

My mom always made us wash with soap.
They sell fruit and veggie cleaners, too.
