How do I clean them up? Or, is there is clever way to stop them from
getting cruddy? I have tried cleaning them with a paper towel after use,
but it doesn't work too well. Maybe quickly putting them in a glass of
water?

As others have stated, wait until the glue dries a little more. I've been a
fan of protecting the wood with blue painters tape. It really makes
clean-up faster.

To clean really old, rusty or glue covered scrapers:
use double stick tape to attach the scraper to a large scrap that's clamped
securely to your bench,
get a piece of hardboard and attach some stick-on sandpaper,
get your trusty PC 505 and double stick it to the hardboard,
sand clean to 220, tune, sharpen and burnish.

Note: If a PC 505 is not on the shelf, most any ROS will work.
