How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.
In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

Probably the only way is to help prepare with them or talk to them about it.
I gave a friend of mine a hard time for not rinsing off the soap before putting them out to dry.
Edit: Their dishes, not their food.
They wash their vegetables with soap? Like.. special veg soap or just like Dawn or something?
Oh my, I missed a word there. I meant to say they were doing that with their dishes. haha
Oh good. That makes more sense.
Just to be clear for people trying to learn:
Vegetable rinse/soap products aren't particularly necessary. Vegetables won't have the oily coating skin does/can.
You do, however, need to scrub it. It's honestly a bit of a Catch-22 because if you don't also clean the vegetable brush every time, guess what's now a bacterial buffet?
