What I Use To Clean Rocks

Welcome to another video!
Today I wanted to make a quick video showing you what I use to soak rocks in to clean them.
I've tried bleach, vinegar, baking soda and scrubbing with dish soap but none of these ways really get rid of that creek/river scum very well.
If you're trying to get rid of rust on rocks, I use "Iron Out" for that, but this is more of a general cleaning.
Thank you for watching!

Beautiful clean up. They are great.

[@DutchmansAgates]

Thank you very much!

[@kk5fe]

Great information! But 3 minutes of intro is a bit much. Had to fast forward….

[@DutchmansAgates]

I 100% agree with you. There are point I'd like to make in these informative video's, however my focus in recent video's has been to cut most of the "fat" out of it, and go straight to the point. Thank you for the feedback!

[@tarajaimekeith3158]

To the maker of video, sometimes the "fat" in video is good and if your information is worthy of learning then they should ride it out and not complain. Just sayin. Have a safe day.

I use citric acid to clean petrified wood, works amazing!

[@DutchmansAgates]

It's pretty awesome stuff for sure!

[@1968capnkman]

How much citric acid powder to water?

[@DutchmansAgates]

I add a heaping tablespoon to that container, so about 2 tablespoons per liter or +/- 1/4 gallon. I hope it helps!

[@tracylynn7435]

wonder if you can just use lemon juice 🤔

[@DutchmansAgates]

You absolutely can, I just use straight citric acid because it's easier to make a stronger or weaker solution.

[@charilynadajar8216]

Hhat is material to clean the stone

[@DutchmansAgates]

I soak them in citric acid for at least a week.

[@masterbreakbeats]

You ever test the hardness of the stones

[@DutchmansAgates]

I haven't yet, when there's doubt I should, just to confirm.

[@LloydSambilay]

Pm ser I'm stine

[@mattfruge7414]

Cool meeting you at Damon Point this morning!

[@DutchmansAgates]

It was great meeting you as well, those were some amazing agates you found too!

[@mattfruge7414]

All in a day’s work ;). I hope we cross paths again!

[@bobopdam8185]

Bobby,the Netherlands...nice Gemmys u got there bro,acid works pretty nice! I use the muriatic as well,but more so to remove the calcite...keep rocking Martijn👍👊

[@DutchmansAgates]

One day I'll try out muriatic acid if the citric acid isn't potent enough, but for now it's doing a great job. It probably doesn't get rid of calcite so that makes sense! Thank you for watching Bobby, and I'll try to keep them coming!
