If they have aquired a deposit of silver or dev stains they can be cleaned
with either a 10% potassium bichromate solution acidified with 5% sulphuric
acid   or a 5% copper sulphate solution acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid
(both are bleaches), after treatment they should be washed wish sodium
sulphite 5% (silver solvent) then dropped into fix for a while then washed
thoroughly in clean water.

Gien the price of new ones though, unless they're specific to your tank or
you're really really attached to them, replacement is often an easier option
;-)
