Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How do you clean a Whetstone?

i boil mine in a large pan, in the kitchen, with water and liquid soap the wife uses. i usually boil them for a couple hours. seems to get em' quite clean. then i use a cinder block to give each that "flat" surface, rinse with water, let dry for a few days, and oil em' up again for a couple years. ymmv.
