One of the more popular methods is to use hydrogen peroxide. This should kill any hitchhikers. I believe you can use it straight out of the bottle, however, I do not have the specifics on how much to use and for how long. For instance, you can place a portion of the plants in a large clear plastic zip lock bag, add enough peroxide to cover the plants, let sit for X minutes, remove and either rinse or no rinse (cannot recall) with fresh tap water.
At minimum, a rinse with a small steady stream of fresh tap water should remove most of the hitch hikers and allow for close visual inspection. Best of luck.

You don't have to rinse the h2o2 off. I usually rinse each stem separately, getting all the dirt off, then put it in h2o2 in a bowl big enough to fit the plant, and straight into the soil. Just enough h2o2 to cover all of its surfaces.
