Post ultra sonic cleaning
After cleaning a harp in the ultrsonic cleaner Using the EuroSonic cleaning
solution.....do you let it air dry ?
- If so how long does that typically take ?
- How often do you recommend changing the EuroSonic Cleaning solution
(after every use, after every several uses, monthly ? )
- Do you then spray it with the MI-T-Misty solution after it is dry or while it is still wet after
ultrasonic cleaning ?
- Do you recommend using the MI-T-Misty solution after every use ?
Thank you for your time

Hello HarpTechs
(S1) After I remove the parts from the bath, I shake off the residule water, then blow dry the parts with air from my compressor. A blow dryer used for hair drying works as well (set to low or no heat). DO NOT USE air in a can (electronics duster) it contains bitterant -- nasty stuff.
(S2) 3 minutes typically does the trick.
(S3) I recommend using Euro-Sonic Solution for Light to Medium cleaning. This potion is potent! One capful per cleaning session is all you need. For light duty cleaning, clean (bottled) water is all you need. Remember, bubbles are created, then POP; 40,000 time a second. That's a lot of scrubbing power.
(S4) Mi-T-Mist is not required after an ultrasonic bath--unless you like the minty fresh after taste you get with Mi-T-Mist ;o)
(S5) You'll find if you get into the habit of spraying Mi-T-Mist into the slots and mouthpiece of your harmonica--after every play, you will not have to give it a bath as often.
(T1) Yes, on the Chromatic harmonicas. Spraying Mi-T-Mist for ALL mouthpiece instruments is a good idea.

Great, thanks! I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't screw up the windsaver.

Hi Taylor
Do not soak---best to use Mi-T-Mist judiciously.

Also is Mis-T ok to use on the chomatic harps?
