For example prior to using something like XYLENE check out the ATSDR web site about that Product.

No harsh rubbing though, just a mild attempt to get rid of some of the greenish stuff whatever it may be. </p><p>As to Solder attaching to Silver or Copper or almost any metals. Pleases note there are numerous variations in Solders. Some contain Silver, Lead, Gold, Tin, Zinc and almost anything imaginable depending on what you want to spend mostly.
