The cleaning of an artifact is an irreversible operation once the corrosion products have been stripped, some precious information and history can be lost forever.
Always leave a small area of the original corrosion products on an artifact.
The methods for cleaning bronze can be:
- electrochemical
- electrolytic
- mechanical
The less invasive method is mechanical cleaning under microscope observation and the results are amazing!
