Hi Tretov,
first of all, you have a great collection. I would definitely like to see larger pics. Secondly, like it was already said in previous posts, don't worry too much because many collectors have had some sort of problems with storage during their collecting careers. You just can't know everything and we don't have the resources like museums. From my experience, soaking in natural lemon juice and then washing with soap (ph neutral) and water is the best and safest way. I'm skeptical about using any kinds of chemicals unless you know very well what you doing. Anyway, before using any method of cleaning, try it first on the least precious items!
