I have a set of ceramic sharpening sticks, similar to the ones pictured in the link below. There are two different types of ceramic (white and blue) that supposedly have different densities. There a two different angles, one for each color.

Here is the problem: The sticks are many years old and have picked up a lot of metal from use. They seem to be a lot less effective than they used to be, and slide more due to the metal embedded in the stick. In the past I have cleaned them just using a rag and hot soapy water. I am interested in a better way to clean them. I've thought about just getting a spyderco set, but would rather fix these if possible. In their day, they gave great service, but now they need some maintenance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
