A very dirty thread

So I found this plate, it was under a pot plant and it was black with indoor plant fertiliser, I was about to chuck it but when I looked underneath it was a numbered Franklin Mint plate called Purrfection.


 


I ran it under water and soaked it and it came clean! Mostly.


 


I feel like I've found a treasure, it was so black with plant fertiliser it looked rusty. I thought it would never come clean. But it has a black ring around the edge from dried plant fertiliser I've been soaking it and very gently trying to pick the black stuff off.


 


Any tips on how I could gently clean it?


 


Thanks
