<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 1631223, member: 74"]I use a white vinegar bath on gold filled pieces, without stones, that have green in the crevices. Sometimes I soak for quite a long time, but I do check it regularly to make sure nothing bad is happening. I have had chains that have green embedded in every little link. Something like that I will soak for days, changing out the vinegar several times, and eventually the chain comes clean. I have not had anything where the patina gets ruined, but I would be very careful with any long soaks, and I have not used it to soak anything other than gold filled pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
