<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4791391, member: 112"]It is highly unlikely that using a Waterpik will remove verdigris. Oh it might blow some of the softer stuff off, (verdigris is sometimes a light fluffy powder), but that's about it. I say that because other times verdigris is hard and crusty and a plain pain to get off. Also, water is last thing ya wanna use on verdigris because water is one of the things necessary for verdigris to form to begin with. If anything using water on it will just to lead to more of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, a Waterpik will often work wonders on plain ordinary dirt and grime, getting it out of the crevices and protected areas.
