Kinya,
I first posted this on Winslow's forum in error. Sorry everyone.

I watched your video on tools and cleaning. I've located a few small ultrasonic cleaners on eBay. Can't find one in town. But I can't seem to locate anywhere, the cleaning solutions, The Mighty Mist spray bottle or the Eurosonic cleaning fluid. Any suggestions, or are there easier to find comparable products? Thanks

Rick

cleaning

Hello List, I like to use Cream of Tartar (from the spice rack at the store) put a spoon full in 3-4 cops of water place all of the metal parts in the solution put in a microwave and boil for about 10 min and no scrubbing needed. I don't like to use things that are not safe to eat (might have the munches). I am thinking of a getting a ultrasound cleaner but will still use Cream of Tartar to clean with.

Most of the time I only use one drop of dishwashing detergent with warm water.
