you don't take everything off at any point. Harvest all mature fruits, leave the pins (harvest black pins) and allow it to rest several days without any misting and humidity at ambient (50-60%-ish) levels. Then on the last day allow it to sit under a cold-water faucet running for several hours. The running water will hydrate the cake and wash away any contaminates.
The colony will rest for several days before pushing new energy into the production of fruits. Dunking/Hydrating before this only allows it to dry back out during this rest period and potentially exposes it to new contaminates.

the big buzz is not letting your cakes sit in standing water. The running water technique ensures it washes away old contams, and does not let new ones settle.
rinsing for the win.

Dunking in water is fine, and hydrates the cake better than other methods, after finishing dunking u can run them under the tap to wash them.
