How to Clean Bronze Coins

Cleaning bronze coins can be a pain. What to use? How to avoid corrosion? Well, it's fairly easy - easier than cleaning copper coins!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bronze coins.
• A cloth.
• Warm soapy water.
• A lot of patience.
• A lot of time.
• Paper towels.

1. Put out two paper towels, one for the dirty coins and one for the clean coins.

2. Using the cloth, dip it in the soapy water (make sure it's warm first) and then gently rub at the coin. Don't do more than one at a time, and make sure that you rub them gently.

3. When you've finished rubbing the coin, carefully dry it off.

Tips & Warnings

• You will need a lot of water, so change it regularly.
• DON'T scrub at the coins! This can cause tarnish.
