Re: Cleaning & Preserving Buttons
Regarding that article stating that you should drop your button in a solution of ammonia and water... Be careful. Ammonia will eat the copper in a button, so expose the button to it for only a short time. Something else the article left out - THROUGHLY soak and wash the button after removing it from the ammonia. Any ammonia left in or on the button will continue to do its dirty work.
