This question has probably been addressed in one of the threads, but I don't have the time to look through them all.

I like to grow leafy veggies like lettuce, kale, and spinach in the winter here in central Florida. I grow them in a typical raised dirt bed, not hydroponics. My question is:
How do you safely clean your edibles before eating them? Especially for veggies you eat raw, such as veggies used in a salad?
My concern is bacteria that can be toxic and very dangerous to ingest. Such as listeria, botulism, salmonella, etc.

Thanks in advance for educating me on how to safely clean the food I grow.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
