Hi Jason, I understood that the cleaning process was an electrolytic process in distilled water which involved only adding a temporary aluminum strip as the (+) electrode and connecting battery (-) to the two silver electrodes and running current through them for a short time.
So, although I haven't tried it, it doesn't seem like it will cause any sort of degrading of the electrodes. In fact, it seems as if it might be less degrading than mechanically cleaning them.
