Unless the media degrades over time, I would just reuse it rather than replace it (cheaper that way). You may wish to rinse it off good. You can use aquarium water (pour some in a bucket), or tap water. Tap water will kill all of the bacteria, but if you don't have a large fish load, you should be ok. Clean 50% at a time, 2 week intervals.
