DIRECTIONS FOR USE COME WITH EVERY SHIPMENT, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU LOSE THEM... NOTE: IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO USE THIS OR ANY OTHER CLEANER ON MODERN COINS (FOR EXAMPLE, WHEAT PENNIES) UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED WITH COIN RESTORATION. ALWAYS TEST ON AN INEXPENSIVE PIECE BEFORE USING ON VALUABLE ITEMS. Shake well before pouring. Using a plastic or glass container, pour an amount sufficient to submerse your coins in about a centimeter of the liquid. Let coins soak for about 15 minutes, then look at each coin and check what effect has occurred. The coin type (bronze or copper), and the level of dirt and verdigris will determine how long to soak. For copper coins, look for signs of tarnish removal, which can occur fairly quickly. Make sure not to leave copper soaking for too long, or you run the risk of removing the patina. For bronze coins, dirt and verdigris are the predominant issues, and typically require longer soaks. Check bronze every 6 hours or so, making sure to watch for signs that the cleaner has penetrated to the coin surface. Coins with especially heavy dirt, corrosion, and verdigris should be removed and cleaned with a soft brass brush after a 24-hour soak, then placed back in the solution until the desired effect is achieved. TIPS and TRICKS: For lighter cleaning and patina saving/restoration, it is important not to allow the solution to settle, as it will become highly acidic towards the bottom of the container. For heavy duty cleaning (removing corrosion, verdigris), let the solution settle for an hour or so before dropping the coins in. Make sure the coin being cleaned is exposed to both sides, either by turning during the soaking process, or by placing it in a way that will allow both sides to be exposed to the solution. While the coins are soaking, it often helps to stir a little to help loosen dirt. This is especially effective for coins with verdigris. Also, keep a lid on the container while you soak coins. This will help prevent evaporation. Copper coins sometimes turn a pinkish color after soaking for extended periods of time, which may not be desirable. To restore patina to a copper coin, place it in the soaking tray along with a coin that has verdigris (green corrosion) on it. Soak the coin for about an hour, then remove, but don’t rinse it off immediately. After about 24 hours, you should see some of the patina return. Another way to get the color to return after soaking is to slightly heat the coin evenly, until reddish color returns. If you overheat, then you’ll need to dip the coin in the cleaner for a few seconds and try again. Mint State works to loosen dirt, corrosion, and verdigris from dirty coins, however, it is still necessary to wipe or lightly scrub residue from the coin’s surface. Use a toothbrush or soft brass brush with dish soap under running water. This will also help remove residual cleaner from the coin’s surface. PRECAUTIONS: MS Clean is non-toxic and contains no chemicals; however, that does not mean you should ingest it or get it in your eyes! This product is very acidic, which is why it works so well, so be sure to rinse out with water if it does get into your eyes. Wash skin with soap and water after use, and be sure to keep the bottle closed when not in use.
