The distilled water will at least deactivate it, but also help dissolve it when combined with manual cleaning. It’s worked in every case I’ve had, and left the patina intact. But none of my cases were aggressive.</p><p><br /></p><p>But maybe a small dose of sodium sesquicarbonate like this is still pretty patina safe?
