don't know Anna. I know that the animals ( dogs & cats) aren't affected by it. However that said, I wouldn't want to bet my life on it. Best check with the mfg rep and see what they claim. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer.

I would not spray this on food. Use diatemaceous earth powder for gardening.

Why would you spray it on food items? The spray should be confined to pest travel areas such as baseboards, corners, closets, etc along the floor areas. I would not, under any circumstances, spray food holding areas or drinking water sources with any pesticides no matter how safe they say they are. The chemical is safe when it's dry for pets to frequent or people but I would make sure that anything that will or could be consumed is out of harms way. Better safe than sorry. Will vegetables absorb the chemical? Well, in the wild many plants will absorb water through leaves and since veg and fruit do grow that would mean that the skins are not 100% sealed from the outside. I'd have to honestly guide you away from food that has been sprayed with any pesticide or herbicide as a common sense precaution. Hope this helps.

It is always WISE to rinse but I do not always and HAVE found this to be a very clean product. I love to sprout it before cooking so it gets rinsed most always in the process for me.

George, I've experienced no problems. I wash it with dish soap and water, dry it thoroughly, and then put a thin coat of vegie oil on it.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, especially if it has the black growth inside the red container, which happens when it's been hanging outside for a while and requires a brush to get it clean. I soak mine in water with white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and clean them for next season.

No need to soak..If you have the correct mixture...Contact with leaves will be enough

It can certainly be sprayed on vegetables to clean them..but as far as killing bugs?..not sure on that one as this is such a mild product and meant to be mild enough to use on multiple items without caustic chemicals. If you're referring to a vegetable spray for use in a garden...I don't think this is your product.

Unfortunatley I don't know the answer to that. It would have to be mixed really thin. You may have to worry about what it could do to your lawn and what it could do to the sidewalk. Likely as not the safe mixture might be too weak to do the job. Dish washing liquids and laundry detergent may be safer.

I would really reccomend against it. It kills everything. I sprayed some of my house with it, and about 4 months later there is still things dying where I sprayed it. Probably wouldn't be safe if you want to eat the vegetables.

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

It can be used on anything even up to time of eating. There is no insecticide in it so it is safe for all vegetables.

I have no problem rinsing my veggies, there is plenty of depth to use just one side. I love this sink. Good luck

Assuming the green stuff is mold, mildew or of organic origin, it will take it off. If it is deeply embedded, it might take a light scrubbing or a second application but that would be exceptional.

No, quinoa will pass right through. You'll need a fine mesh strainer to rinse quinoa.

This material is totally safe for growing veggies or anything else you are going to consume. What you want to stay away from is green treated timber as well as railroad ties. Both are saturated with heavy toxic chemicals that would leach into the soil, and thus become absorbed by anything that grows in close proximity...

Yes I'm pretty sure they wash it, but not pasteurizing the vegetables makes sure they are not exposed to radiation and thus lessening they're nutritional value

I have never tried but I bet it would fry the plastic. I had an older version for many years, which I inadvertently broke. I have never needed to put it in the dishwasher because the lettuce is clean by the time I put it in the spinner. So, I never put it in the dishwasher, I just rinse it and place upside down for it to dry naturally. My family never got sick because of this ...

Yes. But wash the living plant real good after last application with 6.5 ph water. very low on the ppm. Let plant dry out or sit in soil until plant is dry, used all previous water and below 200 ppm.
