<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 887567, member: 4552"]Yes and No. People really have little knowledge of the many differences in Soap and Waters. If you go to almost any store and look for soaps, you would see many, many different types and all are really different. Manufacturers seldom, if ever, really tell you what is in their products due to forulae theft. They keep the exact information secret since it is rather proprietary. And since you really don't know what is in the soaps you are considering, that is something you just don't want to attempt. </p><p>Oddly enough even water is different everywhere. Again, even at a store on the shelves are numersous different types of water today. Well water, spring water, baby safe water, drinking water and on and on and on. Sort of funny when you hear of those organizations that simply fill bottles with tap water and sell for $1/bottle. And if you use a water softener at home, it conains NaCl so it too should not be used for plants. Tap water in most areas contain Chlorine or Fluorine and should be left standing for 24 hours prior to using on house plants to allow those gasses to evaporate. </p><p>In other words although soap and water may or may not be considered harsh cleaning of a coin, the substances in those items may actually distroy the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
