	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.
