Default Best way to clean plants to prevent snails?

Howdy,
I finally got my 55 set up and have some plants
from the 10 I've been running that I'd like to transfer
cuttings from to the new tank. Only problem is, you
guessed it, the 10 is infested with snails. What can
I 'wash' the cuttings in that won't kill them but also
won't allow the snails to propogate to the new tank?

On a related note has anyone bought from Aquarium
Landscapes www.fishvet.com? I like their 55 gal asst
but am worried about buying online sight unseen.

TIA!
