Filter POST data in Django

I have a view in django that is going to save HTML data to a model, and I'm wondering how I might go about filtering it before saving it to the model? Are there built in functions for it? I know there are template filters, but I don't think those help me in this case.

What I'll be doing is getting the content of a div via JQuery, sending that to a view via ajax, then saving it to a model.

django takes care of safely storing strings in the database. html is a worry when displaying to the user, and django provides some help there as well, escaping html unless explicitly told not to
