Remember to wash off any fresh vegetables or fruit. This removes any special additives such as pesticides.
Washing also removes any parasites that may have been picked up, as well as animal droppings.
Keep in mind that you can get away with a basic cold water wash. Hot water will cause vitamin loss and discoloring, and soap can be hard to wash off, causing its own problems.
While washing them do a careful inspection to make sure everything looks good. Be wary of insects and spiders while doing so.
Don't wash your organic eggs if you buy them in an unwashed state. They can actually remain reasonably fresh unrefrigerated longer than the store bought version in a refrigerator.
