 Preserving Reeds

Does any one have experience that they would like to pass around with prolonging the life of a reed?

I periodically soak mine in peroxide when they look grungy.

I also wipe my reed after every use with a handy wipe, those little cleaner cloths that one gets on an air plane after a meal.

I have heard that there are some solutions of very light
vegetable oil, water glass, or glycerin [sp] some use to soak reeds to keep them from absorbing saliva.

Any comments on making reeds last?
