<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 2468850, member: 5833&quot;]Many times I have soaked a piece, applied a soft toothbrush, found some gunk clinging in crevices, so back in the soapy water, brushing, still some deep dark places, so...&nbsp; It&#039;s a seashell; it doesn&#039;t mind water.&nbsp; Sometimes you have to work the grime off in layers.&nbsp; Soaking overnight does no harm when there&#039;s no mount to worry about.&nbsp; I only give it a try after as little as 1/2 hour if I&#039;m too impatient to see how a piece really looks to wait longer.&nbsp; Shell is amazingly grabby for grunge.&nbsp; You can clean hardstone spit spot; shell frequently takes more coaxing to reveal itself if it&#039;s very dirty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
