Wouldn't the right way to clean core be to disassemble it, clean the beads
thoroughly, and then restring with fresh wire?
IF you were to accurately keep track of which bead was in each location,
as well as its orientation (there are two sides to a bead), then it should
still have the same content stored in it on re-assembly!
