Wash with water like normal, cut up, and then put in water with a sterilizing solution. They are very common in countries with known unsafe tap water. Some might be labeled "vegetable wash", make sure it disinfects.
The other helpful replier covered this, but you can handle things like lettuce by doing the above strategy: disinfect after cutting into the pieces you will use. For example, it is common in Mexico to cut up some cabbage, put what you will use in a bowl of water, and add some disinfectant.
