Sergio mon amie, Don't let the soak them at all!!!!! Simply wet them both with warm not hot water and some kind of soft hand detergent and carelfully and softly rub with your thumb. Soaking is the mortal sin as wood absorbs like a sponge. Rince immediatly and pat dry! MAKE SURE THEY ARE 100% DRY BEFORE MOUNTING~~The come out as new!!! I never use any of the method above with oils or chemicals for cleaning. Its just another layer to remove remove. I use Palmalove, if its safe for the oiled ducks in Alaska thats fine with me! I usually put nothing on the except Renaissance wax polish which is available on amazon~~
