If it has fertilized soil just replant it and also just place it in the shower for about 10-20 minutes, if you have a handheld shower-head that would be best.

PS: just noticed you said it had pesticides, Remove all the soil you can wash in the shower for about 10-20 minutes, replant it in organic soil, and water as usual.

If i replace the soil will it get rid of the systemic pesticides in it

Systemic pesticides are absorbed by the plant. Getting rid of the soil will get rid of what's in the pot, but the plant may need months to be free of the systemic chemicals it has absorbed. I don't really know about this and it probably depends on what chemical was used. Each type of pesticide probably has a different "effective lifespan". A faster-growing plant may be free of it sooner than a mature plant that grows slowly. Just don't know.
