I'll give you my two cents worth. Clean up is a snap. Depending on how much they need to be cleaned up simple rinsing under water with a little detergent is all that is necessary. If you want to be more aggressive rub the same grit ceramics together to cleani them up. Ony a few lire rubs is all that's necessary.

A little follow up. I recently picked up from Steven Pinson ( SP36@yahoo.com) a set of 800/1000 chosera stones. These are a full one inch wide on modified handles. Time I get thru with these stones only a few strokes are necessary with the micro ceramics. I have an extremely sharp edge with great polished angles. My clients love the look of their finished knives.

I haven't cleaned mine in quite a while, and they're working fine, but eventually they'll need to be cleaned. I use "Barkeeper's Friend" on ceramic stones... easy and works great.

It shouldn't cause you much aggravation.

I use the liquid form of Barkeepers Friend and it seems to work better.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.
