Welding Magnets

removing steel filings from welding magnets?

Hi, My welding magnets are accumulating steel filings from drilling etc. that besides affecting the square of my steel sections to be welded, also are getting stuck in my fingers. Is there a way to easily detach these, e.g. by temporarily de-magnetizing them, maybe with electricity (e.g. an electro-magnet in reverse)? Cheers.

A vacuum cleaner..Any type.. The kitchen ones that hang up and are cordless are good.. It can be perfect for your job..
