I dont know about buttons but i use it to clean coins that i dont want to scratch or mark in any way in case they are valuable or rare, and that i'm afraid to put thru the Electrolysis cleaner

I personaly wouldnt use a stick, as i'm sure that might mar a coin surface.

Gladly. Take 6 tablespoon of olive oil and mix with one quarter tspn of salt & pepper. Dip your coins in two or three times...shake them well...pour the mixture on fresh salad greens and throw the coins away.....

Sorry....got carried away....love salad. :D I clean my coins in vinegar....DO NOT clean your silver this way....

color doesn't matter....it is all 5% or less acetic acid content. Keep your coppers separate from your other clads....leave em soak for 30 minutes or more....won't hurt anything....they usually come out of the ground pretty nasty.
