Cleaning the Sharpening Stone
Rinse the stone under running water for about a minute or two to remove debris and metal filings. You can also use a degreaser like kerosene or paint thinner with a small brush to loosen oil and metal pieces.

Cleaning the File
Hold the file by the handle with a firm grip.
Place the tip of the file on a durable surface, such as a workbench, to stabilize it.
Using a file card or wire brush, clean the file by brushing in one direction, away from your body. Start. near the handle and move towards the tip.
Repeat the brushing motion until the file is completely clean.
(Optional) To prevent rust and ensure smooth operation, lightly coat the file with a thin layer of oil. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth.

Storing
Store in a cool dry place.
