Do you collect coins but regularly get annoyed by the laborious and time-consuming cleaning process? Are your euro coins too dirty and would you like to have them hygienically clean? Whether it's a passion for collecting or a desire for hygienic cleanliness – with an ultrasonic cleaning device, you can quickly and easily remove dirt, germs, and even verdigris from coins. We'll explain why coin cleaning in an ultrasonic bath is so effective in today's blog post.
Cleaning coins with an ultrasonic device
If you'd rather keep your coin collection or the euro coins in your wallet sparkling and hygienically clean, you can clean them easily and quickly in an ultrasonic bath. While opinions differ among coin collectors as to whether ultrasonic treatment is the right medium for cleaning, an ultrasonic bath can have a rejuvenating effect on coins.
Doubters point out that the patina of old coins is "attacked" and removed by the ultrasonic bath. Since this patina often contains the value of old coins, you should refrain from ultrasonic cleaning for particularly old and valuable coins. However, with the right cleaning concentrate, you can achieve an impressive cleaning effect without damaging the alloy of your coins.
Coin cleaning with ultrasound
Coins are not only valuable, but also require intensive care and are delicate. Therefore, it's important to clean them gently in an ultrasonic bath. Always use the correct cleaning concentrate and make sure your coins don't stay in the ultrasonic bath for too long.
Depending on the size and texture of the coins, you can also clean them individually to reduce cleaning time. After the bath, the coins should be rinsed with clear, ideally distilled water and then gently dried with a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing them roughly when drying, as this can leave unsightly streaks. After an ultrasonic bath, the coins will shine again in their full glory.
Cleaning coins in an ultrasonic bath – what you need to keep in mind!
When cleaning coins with an ultrasonic device, it's important to use the right cleaning concentrate. An average concentrate can attack the alloy of the coins and thus reduce their value. If you want to play it safe, you can also place the coins in distilled, lime-free water and clean them without additional concentrate.
If you want to clean many coins at once, make sure they're not stacked on top of each other. This not only prolongs the cleaning process but can also damage the coins. Each coin must be thoroughly rinsed and dried completely; water stains are difficult to remove later.
