I peel everything due to the fear of pesticides. Do you think washing the fruit would be sufficient to remove these things?
Lots of fruits are also waxed

And if you don't eat the peels, you can always compost them! It's a great way to cycle your waste and use for gardening.

Thank you for the quick advice!

Wow, very handy to know! I would never of though that banana peel would act as a whitening agent for teeth. Definitely going to give it a try!
