Does Slate Need To Be Soaked?

[BINKSY]

As the title really, i got some slate today, apart from a wash under the tap does it need to be soaked or boiled or anything?

I usually just wash ine under hot water and whilst doing that i just rub it with hands to help get the crap off.

i put mine in tank before setting it up then filled with water .. i forgot to wash it !

well i did wash it, they were slate roof tiles, i washed, then smashed them up on the grass outside (they were covered in mud and grass)
