Interesting. In any case, if solvents can get solids inside the fibers, they can presumably get them out again. That is to say, it isn't black and white, that soaking only would remove the surface solids and would leave the "absorbed" solids untouched. So soaking would probably remove a good portion of both surface and inner solids. The likelihood of getting it all out would be lower, though, for the scenario of solids inside.
