Yep just soak it. Check it every few minutes. Then use a q tip to remove the crud. Repeat until satisfied.

This thread has some really good tips too. I bookmarked it cause there is so much great info there. Not saying ticm's info is wrong at all-lemon juice seems like a great idea, just a lot of details in this old post.
