You are wise to wash your grapes before you eat them, Says I, The Cyberdyne.
''Eating unwashed produce may cause you to ingest harmful bacteria, which may be present in the soil, or pesticides applied to produce in the fields. What's more, you might even end up eating bugs that were harvested along with the produce.''

How Bad Is It Really to Eat Unwashed Fruits and Vegetables?
''Non-organic grapes contain loads of pesticide residues, including eight cancer-causers, 17 suspected hormone disruptors, 10 neurotoxins, and four developmental or reproductive toxins. Plus 19 that are toxic to honeybees.
The only good thing you can say about non-organic grapes is that they’re better than non-organic raisins. According to EWG, almost 100% of samples of non-organic raisins contained residues from two or more pesticides.''

@Alyzae I only leave them to soak in water for minutes, but I don't wash them with soap.
