How effective is washing fruit with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda in removing pesticides and bacteria?

Washing fruit with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda can help remove some pesticides and bacteria, but it may not eliminate all of them. It is a natural and safe method to reduce contaminants on the surface of the fruit, but it may not penetrate deep into the fruit's skin or flesh. It is still recommended to wash fruits thoroughly with water before consuming them.
