There are some purists who don't like it but most, like me, don't mind it if it doesn't harm the card. Discoloration is a harmful side effect if not very careful. I have no issue with water being used on a card to get dirt or gunk off of it. I have done it many times and I would guess a great percentage of pre-war cards have been soaked or cleaned in some fashion. If I can't tell, and nothing nefarious was done, I don't care.
