<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PEdoubleNIZZLE, post: 171185, member: 794&quot;]the PERFECT cleaner would have a pH of 7.0... a.k.a. distilled water. If I can&#039;t get it off with water, I won&#039;t try, unless cleaning will raise the value of a coin. I do clean some display coins, such as custom 20th century coin holder, and I&#039;ve even replated some 1943 cents (lots of places do it, including Littleton Coins, except they overprice theirs). But, something that&#039;s very alkali or very acidic will ruin the coin. Many people don&#039;t know that little piece of chemistry (e.g. &quot;battery acid&quot; from an alkaline battery is actually a base, but if it gets on your skin, it will still burn, and you need vinegar or a similar acid to neutralize it if this ever happens... fun but useful piece of trivia)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you can&#039;t get distilled water, pour some water in a container and let it sit for at least 24 hours (add enough so it doesn&#039;t all evaporate) to get rid of the chlorine. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I don&#039;t even use windex for my coin holders/displays! I actually use an alcohol swab, as it isn&#039;t as mseey and does just as good (or even better) at cleaning as windex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
