I love to use the fresh spinach from the veggie market. The important key to cleaning it is to submerge all of this spinach in a large bowl of cool water. Swish around and let it sit for a minute or two. All of the sand will drop to the bottom of the bowl. Then you can pull the spinach out and rinse under the faucet; dry on clean paper towels. Slice up 6 or seven cloves of garlic.
