How to remove pesticides and harmful bacteria from fruits and vegetables?

I'd like to blend some fruits with their peels, however I'm concerns about pesticides and harmful bacteria. I understand I should buy organic, but in case it's not or just to be safe, what methods I should use to get rid of pesticides and harmful bacteria?

I've heard that you can soak it for some time in vinegar, but there are two problems, the juice may smell with vinegar and you can't make a milk shake, because the milk will curdle.

Any advice?
