But from what little I know, water should be good. If you bring chemicals in you could hurt the cave life in there.

seen people use seltzer water or tonic water (CO2 dissolved in water-nothing else). I have also seen dilute acetic acid-- (white vinegar) added to water to make a very weak (less than 5%) solution. Do NOT use straight.
I have seen baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and powdered chalk used for an abrasive. Again, rinse and dilute thoroughly

do ask a cave archaeologist, cave historian and cave biologist or others
Since my organized cave life began one of the things us cavers hear over and over again is "do not pee and do not poop in the cave"
