I clean my coins using plan water and a soft toothbrush if needed. Then if further cleaning is needed I use a mild dish soap solution soak and then use the toothbrush. You can use toothpaste if you need more, but that's as far as I go. And never try cleaning a key coin, they say take it to a professional for cleaning.
