Hi, for those of you that use ceramic sharpening stones, I'm just curious how you clean them. My white stones are always grey.
I saw that eraser thing they sell but I'm not sure how well that works.
I clean them with just soap and water using a scotch brite pad.

Bartender's Friend is your friend. Just cleaned my wife's stones with it last night. Use a drop of liquid soap with it. Makes a nice thick slurry.

Comet and a sponge.

I'll add soft scrub and a scotch brite pad to the aforementioned.

+1 on Comet and a sponge. Quick, easy, and cheap. :)

If my ceramic stones-especially the white one-gets a lot of little metal bits on it,as the white one is prone to do,I just give it a bit of shoeshine under the faucet with a diamond stone. Just because it is handy for me. The other methods work fine,too. I am not concerned about the gray color. I do want to get the little steel flakes off the stone,though. They aren't kind to edges being honed.

Thanks, I just stole my wife's Comet and that worked like a charm.
I'll keep the diamond stone in mind too since I use those too.
