When organic is not available?

Hi,

I buy organic whenever possible but some of vegetables we eat, for example, bitter melon, asparagus, baby bok choy, etc. is not always available as organic.

In such situations, is there a preferred way to wash these vegetables to get rid of the pesticides?
I saw a organic wash at the store today and that got me thinking...

Please let me know your thoughts...
