To the original question about how people keep their stones clean, this is what I do: I have Shapton Pros in 1000, 2000, and 5000 and what I do is rinse it under clean running water and scrub with my fingertips to get most of the black off, and then I dress it lightly with an Ice Bear synthetic nagura which removes any remaining marks, then rinse off again, pat dry with a towel, and leave it to dry in its storage box. I picked up the nagura at my local woodworking shop for about $13. Seems to work great for that.
I do have a brownish red nagura stone I guess I could have used.
