Is there  any chemical which is safe to use to get rid of that stuff  
properly  
or should I use the old soapy warm water  treatment?




I use full strength amonia on battery acid. Sometimes the corosion wipes  
right off. I do not know if this is good for old battery formulas but it sure  
can work well on some more recent ones.
 
Amonia makes a good mild paint remover too.
 
Make sure it is a fresh bottle. I think the stuff loses potency. Maybe it  
absorbs moisture from the air.
 
I DO NOT KNOW IF THE COMBINATION CAN HURT YOU. DO IT IN THE OPEN AIR  ETC.
 
Please report back how it worked for you.
