Default How to CLEAN a wood knife block?


I want to clean all the dust and dirt that accumulates in the knife
slots of a typical wooden knife block (yes, even if your knives go in
clean). I ruined my last block by soaking it in a sink of soapy water
for a few minutes. (It swelled up and some slots wont accept knives any
longer. Also, even after leaving it to dry outside for a week, the
slots still contain enough moisture to wet the knives, and cause them
to rust). Question is, how can I properly clean the inside of the slots
with water on occasion, without ruining the block? I'm tired of having
to rinse my knives before using them, because I can't clean inside the
block!
