Next, add some laundry detergent to the container and fill it with a small amount of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay close attention to the edges of the Geode, where dirt often accumulates. Gently scrub the surface with a toothbrush, removing any stubborn dirt. Once the Geode is thoroughly cleaned, rinse it diligently to eliminate any detergent residue, leaving it sparkling and pristine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 2: Soaking in a Bleach Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soaking your Geode in a bleach solution is the way for more intensive cleaning. Prepare the solution by mixing 3\/4 cup of bleach with a gallon of water.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Submerge the Geode completely in the solution and allow it to soak for at least an hour, giving the bleach ample time to dissolve mineral deposits and impurities from the surface. After the soaking period, wash the Geode thoroughly with warm water to remove all bleach traces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method is particularly effective in restoring the Geode’s natural luster and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 3: Denture Cleaner and Toothbrush<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A denture cleaner and a toothbrush are fantastic approaches to cleanse your Geode effectively. To begin, create a solution by mixing half a cup of baking soda in a water bucket. Place the Geode in the solution and let it soak overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Once the soaking process is complete, carefully rinse the Geode with water and use a soft cloth to dry it thoroughly. You can apply a suitable sealer to preserve the Geode’s beauty and prevent further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
