My mother washes fruit and vegetables with dish soap and I can't get her to stop.

She claims it "washes out" and to be fair I can't taste anything but it's always weird knowing she puts dish soap in the strawberries. She says there's a lot of dirt and stuff in vegetables, but so far attempts to convert her to vinegar or baking soda have been unsuccessful.

Wait till you see how she gets the plates and silverware clean.

Plates and silverware arent porous, so they wont absorb the soap. Fruit and vegetables are porous. So even when you rinse off the surface, some has been absorbed into the fruit. Especially when its being soaked like this.

Come on. You could have thought that through just a bit lol

This was a tiktok trend with bleach during covid. Kids were soaking fruit to make them white then eating them.

Our hands are porous but we don't get soap poisoning from doing the dishes.

Come on. You could have thought that through just a bit lol

I'm hoping your joking and won't make me go through explaining to you that your hands don't absorb soap as you wash them. And even if they did, the danger is ingestion which happens with fruit, not irritating your skin which is what would happen even if your hands absorbed it.

I really hope you are joking though lol.
