Granted - It doesn't dissolve the carbon, but it does loosen it enough that I find black chunks of it in the basin of water when I syringe flush. I'm referring to the Polident soak method.

I'm assuming that folks empty a carto and throw it in a drawer and then clean a bunch at at time later (that's what I'd probably do). so I'm wondering if you cleaned them immediately would it make a difference?

Nope, no difference. Once that crud is on there, it's hard as a ...well...diamond. I have a little covered glass jar sitting by the sink with some kind of solution (like Rave's denture tabs or something) and toss them in there as I go (to soak) until I get around 2 weeks' worth.

Dang, I was hoping that doing them immediately after use would keep anything from hardening in there.
