Exactly Quartertapper.
I'll clean a coin at work because it's not mine and I get paid to work there. Even then, as I stated, there are times I'll just say no.
The vast majority of my collection is raw and uncleaned. Of the cleaned coins I do have most I bought knowing they were cleaned.
Collectors, especially new collectors, should stay far away from cleaning. If, for some reason, it is necessary consult with someone that has a clue on how to do it as safely and effectively as possible.
