a. true
b. false

False

Explanation:

In current time, there is no agricultural produce that is 100% safe as it carries some traces of pesticides, fertilizers & other chemicals used on field and also microbes on its surface.

Only commercial cleaners that are labelled as fruit and vegetable cleaners are used to kill the bacteria from the surface of fruit and vegetables, remove harmful traces of pesticides, fertilizers etc., wax and other chemicals.

Synthetic washing powders or detergents can not be used for cleaning fruit as they themselves contain several harmful chemicals which are not good for human body.

Hence, in order to remove 100% of bacteria & other harmful chemicals from the surface of fresh fruit and vegetables it is not necessary to use soap or commercial cleaners
