Ultrasonic cleaning: the dos and don’ts

What can an ultrasonic cleaner be used for?

An ultrasonic cleaner can be used in various settings, to efficiently clean items and components, removing dirt, grime and dust particles. The cleaners use high-frequency soundwaves which create vibrations in the cleaning solution, resulting in a deep but gentle clean.How should I fill the cleaner?

Before beginning the process, fill the container with water and the cleaning solution. Always fill the container to the recommended level only. A container that has been overfilled can cause the liquid to spill outside the container, due to the vibrating. Less liquid too is not effective for cleaning.

Always use a non-flammable solution

The solution can heat up due to the vibration, so a non-flammable solution should be used. It is also advisable to use a water-based solution.

Select the correct temperature for cleaning

The temperature should match the item that is being cleaned. Precise cleaning, and cleaning of intricate parts, is the goal and this has to be achieved satisfactorily. Be aware that if you have the liquid at a hot temperature, you won’t require so much cleaning time.

Unplug the wall unit after each use

Like any electrical appliance, if you are using a large ultrasonic cleaner, it’s important to unplug the unit after use. This will avoid overheating.

What can I not use with an ultrasonic cleaner?

There are some limitations and it’s essential to know that there are some items unsuitable for ultrasonic cleaning.

It is not appropriate for devices such as radio equipment and microphones. And although one of the benefits of an ultrasonic cleaner is its ability to penetrate crevices which is useful in the cleaning of jewellery, be aware that delicate, old or fragile jewellery may get damaged by the machine.

Do not try to repair the cleaner yourself

A cleaner is a complicated device and if you run into issues with it, it should be repaired by professionals.
