There are 4 things and only 4 things that should be used to clean coins: distilled water, acetone, and xylene are the first category, and coin dips are the second category. All involve nothing more than rinsing or soaking, or quickly dipping a coin. If it doesn't involve one of those 4 things then it should not be done.
