Use instructions for SafeClean NonToxic Coin Cleaner for Modern Nickel Coins
Please read thoroughly before use, Seriously, read all of it twice before proceeding:
Precautions for use: Store in a cool dry place. Keep tightly closed. The shelf life is essentially unlimited when stored correctly. Slippery if spilled. In the event of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water. No special disposal requirements. Gloves are optional but not necessary. You may find the product can leave your skin a little dry due to its ability to dissolve greasy residue easily.
The user of this product assumes full responsibility for the use, handling and results of using SafeClean Coin Cleaner for Silver and Copper Coins.
IMPORTANT: I strongly recommend cleaning a number of common or low value coins to learn what methods work better for you. If you wish to dilute this product, do not use anything other than distilled water. The mineral and especially the chlorine content of tap water will affect the results. Unchlorinated bottled water may be inappropriate as well.
HOW TO USE:
Any plastic, glass or ceramic container preferably with wide flat bottom will do. Try small white plastic measuring cups for immersing small numbers of coins and larger plastic bowls for up to even a hundred or so coins. When cleaning small numbers of coins, try propping the coins at an angle on a piece of thick tooth pick or anything else neutral like plastic so both sides are exposed to the cleaner especially during long soaking times.
Immerse coins in just enough solution to completely cover the coins. There is no limit to how many coins you can clean at once as long as you can monitor the cleaning process. Some may clean within minutes and others much longer. Set coin(s) in the solution for a few minutes then remove and rub between fingers and thumbs. Gentle brushing with a new tooth brush or picking with a wooden toothpick will help loosen dirt in legends and other details. Continue soaking until the desired level of cleaning is achieved. Brush, pick or wipe as needed. Extremely corroded nickels may require days of cleaning. Rinse in distilled water when done and dry with a soft cloth.
It is not unusual for the cleaning solution to turn turquoise and possibly thicken after hours of immersing copper/nickel coins. The solution should be changed or replenished every 24 hours if longer soaking times are needed.
You may want to follow with Verdicare used according to instructions to preserve the new appearance and retard new corrosion or oxidation. SafeClean may not be able to completely remove deeply embedded verdigris. We have used VerdiCare according to instructions for this with reasonably good results. Spot cleaning with any oxalic acid based household cleaner such as Lime Away will work on verdigris as well. Store cleaned coins, especially uncirculated and proof coins, in an air tight holder or mylar flip.
Happy cleaning and thanks for trying new SafeClean Non Toxic Coin Cleaner for Nickel Coins. Full refund if not completely satisfied.
