Putting baking soda on it would neutralize some of it and get it closer to a reading that's neither an acid or a base on the pH scale, right?
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.

Basic compounds will corrode as well, but baking soda is great for neutralizing battery acid. pH neutrality is 7. ;-)

Alternatively use baking soda or some other kind of basic (as in OH- charged, not trivial) compound. The compound shouldn't be strong and it shouldn't be diluted in water.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
