One of the most interesting and versatile SAMBOL products available in the SAFE online store is the Coin Cleaning Device (SKU 1870). The functioning of this device can be seen in the attached video. It is a cleaning solution suitable for all coins and is ready to use upon purchase.
The usage is very simple. Insert the coin into the container, close the lid, and turn the hourglass-shaped container upside down. When the cleaning solution has dripped back into the lower part of the container, the cleaning process is complete. This quick cleaning method is sufficient for lighter stains or dirt. For more stubborn dirt, the product can be used as an effective pre-cleaning agent in combination with SAMBOL coin cleaning solutions.
Different types of coins made from various alloys require appropriate maintenance. This is where different cleaning solutions come into play, with application methods based on the specific alloy. Their usage is also straightforward. Open the jar and immerse the coin in the solution using the plastic basket provided in the kit. Allow the solution to act for a moment, rinse the coin, and repeat the procedure if necessary. Then dry the coin.
There have been inquiries regarding the functionality and potential damage caused by these different cleaning agents. So far, the user feedback has been positive. It seems that the general rule for using any chemical solution applies: “Use as much as necessary and as little as possible.”
