Will washing them in water help? I mean I eat them with my bare hands so I’m guessing I eat lots of pesticides everyday.

I don't think that washing will be enough to remove all traces of pesticides. I assume that some of the pesticides are embedded in the peel by the time the fruit is harvested. But don't take my word for it.

It might be better to just pick untreated fruit from the beginning, if possible.
