Cleaning your spark plugs

Ok, I really dont need 2 step colder plugs anymore (NGK BKR7E's) because my nitrous kit is gone. I was pretty unsuccessful over at google.com, and the maxima.org "Search" function; trying to find stuff on cleaning your used spark plugs (i have platinums that are used). But rather than run out and drop another $60 beans for new plugs, I was wondering if anyone has ever done this or would know how I should do this.. Thanks

Use a small soft wire brush and gently clean any deposits off the plug. Our engines run so clean, personally I can't imagain those plugs would be dirty in the first place.

I hadn't actually inspected the plugs all too well, I just remembered them being dirty when I took em out originally. But after just looking at them again today, they don't have any deposits!.. just black soot around the threads!, which i'm really impressed with

these plugs have about 20k miles on em' already and this engines got 130k miles.. I just assumed they'd be dirty

Thanks though..
