We spray our fresh fruit with white vinegar and then rinse with cold water. We also put vegetables in a bowl with vinegar and water. After 5-10 minutes we rinse well with cold water.

@lkeffle I do exactly the same. When our groceries are delivered we have disinfecting them down to a routine. My husband wears gloves and sprays everything and wipes it down. I wash all of the fresh produce in a vinegar bath and rinse it very thoroughly. I started doing that because I read that it helps to keep berries longer since it kills any mold spores on it, and I find that to be true. Berries definitely last longer after being given a vinegar bath.
