bro, pls stop kidding. 
Forget washing
And cook them well
Although there is no scientific evidence that COVID-19 will not survive higher temperatures..I don’t think any virus can survive more than 100c 
(most will die at 60-70c)
when we get the veggies, i want to wash them off as soon as i get them home. don’t want any risk room lying vegetables or while preparing food. it risky.
That means you can’t get the coronavirus by ingesting it.
when we eat , the food enters our mouth and then throat n then stomach. all this while we are told virus enters our lungs via nose/mouth. so how will we not get infected?
when we wash veggies with soap, im sure slight part of soap will be there on surface.
so is there any non toxic soap which is not harmful it gets inside out body which can be used foe this purpose?
Simply wash with warm water don’t use any chemical agents
as i read n saw videos, virus latches to surfaces and only was to get rid of it is be breaking it own via soap/alcohol.

Dip it in hot water for some time then wash with hot water only. Here some more tips:

dip them in normal water (not too cold) for half an hour so that all chemical applied comes out.
even if we put for a day it wont come out completely bro.
I eat fresh raw vegetables (not fruits) sometimes. This is what I always do to get rid of any germs and harmful chemicals on surface:
1. Boil enough water real hot
2. Add regular salt 1 or 2 teaspoon depending on quantity of water
3. Dip in it vegetables completely from 15 to 45 seconds max
4. Remove and instantly put them in cold water to avoid self-cooking due to temperature. Make sure to bring it back to room temperature even if it requires two batches of cold water dip.
5. You can now eat these raw.
I usually dip vegetables such as cauliflower for 30 seconds so that hot water can reach all its grooves. However, veges such as bottle gourd are okay to be removed after 15-20 seconds.

My mom said same thing when I asked
Add some baking powder in a pot of water. Soak the vegitable overnight and rinse it well next day. 🙂
Simply wash and cook them. Normally eating virus laden food will not infect healthy people as stomach acid kills all microbes.
use apple cider vinegar
+1, use warm water and add a spoon of apple cider vinegar, heard that its helpful and cost effective
Heard of ozone cleaners as well but never tried one
I was thinking dettol but that depends on your taste 
You could try
Step 1
Warm water + apple cider vinegar
dip for 30 minutes and rinse well
Step 2
warm water + turmeric + salt
dip for 30 minutes and rinse well
Any definition for warm water in terms of time on normal gas stove
Step 1: wear gloves and wash the vegetables.
Step 2: cut the vegetables.
Step 3: cook the vegetables.
Step 4: Remove gloves. Wash your hands with soap and your gloves with detergent. And remember to not touch other non-essential stuff while doing all this.
