I have the Hanna Marine Master water chemistry kit to test my reef tank parms and over time the cuvette a get cloudy. Instead of buying new cuvettes every 6months, get a sonic cleaner. It cleans them and brings back their original clarity. I’m using the Magnasonic cleaner from Amazon. You can also use this to clean your glasses, rings, etc. Hope this helps!!
 
Never had this issue however I keep my cuvette with rodi in and in a air tight container with rodi. When it comes to using i take it out dry it and empty the cuvette

Never let tap water anywhere near my cuvettes

BTW Hanna Instruments has a cleaning solution, if you don’t want to use dish soap: HI-7061H
 
I have a small tupperware container that i put water in. Once I'm done with the test, I dump it out, rinse with tap, then put it in the RO water for a final rinse. Sometimes I take it out and dry it sometimes I don't.
 
Just Rinse out in RO water over here
