    If the magnets & container holding the mix is large enough, you
    might save yourself some time in cleaning the magnets by putting
    them in plastic bags before placing them in the mix. Then all that
    is necessary is to remove the bag from the magnet will be clean. The
    ferrous material will stay in the bag.
