I also am careful to twist off the roots full of dirt and leave them in the garden, this keeps a lot of the dirt from coming into the house in the first place. I shake the leaves upside down in the garden too, any bugs, dirt, grass, whatever falls off then usually.
Then I rinse in a bowl of water, a handful at a time, drain in a colander, and spread out the leaves on a double layer of paper towling. Roll it up loosely and put in a plastic bag and put it in the fridge for 1/2 hour to 24 hours -- the leaves stay crisp and just unroll what you want for your salad.
