Hi Les,

Depending on how pure your tap water is, maybe not much. Likely 
consequence is more more long term corrosion. This particularly applies 
when soap or other such things are applied first; the challenge there is 
to remove *all* of the soap or other cleaner residue, and may not mater 
so much when only cotton and water are used.

Peace,

Scott
