[QUOTE="Taxidermist, post: 1176980, member: 24849"]This topic is, of course, not about doctoring notes for profit but for preservation. Buying a new one on eBay would not be the method (for me, anyhow). Anyone can just throw away his current collection, spend $xyzabc USD on eBay and get the same collection in crisp UNC, its not the point. I was considering soap+water and bleach, but not mixed together, and i wasn't sure at all whether i should soak the entire banknote or just apply carefully in damaged areas with something like a q-tip you use for ears. I think i`ll go with the second option in this case as the rest of the note looks fine. Thanks for the test and the results, floirdatinman. As far as i can see, the $10 indeed look better now. I guess i will conduct a cleaning attempt and share the results here in a few days.[/QUOTE]
