, this has been covered before..... But.
I cleaned my saddles.
Lots of hot water, lots of Steradent tablets and a soak with regular agitation for half an hour or so. (I divided the ceramics into 4 batches to do the job)
Then I put the copper ones into a very strong solution of boiling water and citric acid.... Just like the ceramics agitated well and often.... Then with fresh water and plenty of citric acid did it again until the copper was copper coloured. (didn't even need to get the citric acid in, it's there waiting for the next TPW!
Give everything a good rinse in fresh water and repack....... What an astounding difference in product.
I'm gobsmacked. A great increase in quality and quantity. I'll be doing it regularly from now on.
You need to do it too.
