Cleaning Electroporation Cuvettes

[chouy at TCPLINK.NREL.GOV]

     I used to rinse the cuvette with sterile ddH2O three times followed by 
     filling in with ethanol for until next use.  Right before I use the 
     cuvette, I then rinse with sterile ddH2O for a couple of times.  It 
     worked just fine for Lactobacillus electroporation.

Can anyone tell me a good way of cleaning electroporation cuvettes for 
re-use?  Must get rid of all salt and also any residual DNA.
