Acid cleaning :[the] use of hot acids to remove dirt or polishing residue from diamonds. Newly-mined rough diamonds are cleaned with hydrofluoric acid; newly-polished diamonds are boiled in a solution of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids to remove oil, graphite, and other debris from surface fractures and abrasions.
