if you're going to eat them within the week a quick rinse under the water should be fine.
if you need them to last longer, fill a large mixing bowl with water and vinegar. preferably a 15% mix with vinegar. let them sit and soak for about 10-30 minutes(dependant on how vinegary your wash is). pick the bad ones out qmd either eat or toss them. stir them around gently to agitate the dirt off them.
strain, and place on paper towels to dry. cover them! if you don't cover them, bacteria and mold spores in the air will stick to them and only shorten your shelf life.
its best if you can refrigerate them immediately and is easier if you use a baking tray.
once dry, store them in a vented fruit container(helps with off gassing). the goal is to keep them dry, cold, and ventilated.
following these steps I've had them last 3-5 weeks before going bad.
