Cleaning arcade tokens???
<< < (2/4) > >>
JQ:
You might also try some kitchen products.  I seem to recall using water, lemon juice, and salt in a bottle (possibly that coke bottle, but after you drink the coke).  Put some coins in and shake.  The salt and lemon juice will do the cleaning.  Seems like I recall doing this as a kid with penny's.  I don't recall the amounts of lemon juice and salt to add, or how it will affect tokens, so you might need to experiment if you want to try this way.

I would just try some ordinary liquid jewelry cleaner.  You know the stuff that comes in a little plastic jar with a tiny brush in it for cleaning necklaces, bracelets, etc.  I'll bet it would work great.

Lemon juice and tobasco sauce and coke are all household acids.  They are also all sticky when they dry if you don't rinse them well.  

White vinegar is also an acid, and will clean the goo off of most anything.   There isn't much sugar left in vinegar so it isn't quite as sticky.

Whatever you use rinse it off well.  I'd vote for vinegar.

I remember seeing this hotel in San Fransisco where they would clean your pocket change every night using detergent, water and ball bearings in a tumbler.

That's it!  Take your tokens to that hotel!  :)
