Ultra sonic cleaner doesnt give me obvious results it seems, have tried it out at a teacher's place before. I was taught by an English teacher once (WARNING: only do this on your oldest reeds which you plan to use for just probably, MAYBE, one more good practise.) to insert the corner of a bank note in the reed, just like how you would insert a plaque, but much further in. Once the note is in, using your index finger and thumb, press lightly the surface of the reed, and with light pressure on the reed pull the bank note out. This will revive the vibration of the reed by a noticeable amount but at the same time, it lightens the reed and it's probably going to be dead the next day or even much longer before.
