I've watched your videos and just purchased an ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machine and a bottle of the cleanser that comes with it. Looking forward to using it tonight. 

 

Question is, is it safe to out the harp in my mouth after using the jewelry cleanser sold with the machine?  The bottle says if the cleanser is ingested to dilute by drinking water. Do you use a different type?  

 

Thanks.

EuroSonic

Hello Paul

I've been using EuroSonic solution for many years, with terrific results. After the bath, I blow the moisture off the components with air from a small compressor. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR FROM A CAN--CONTAINS BITTERANT ;o(

EuroSonic "Advanced technology, non-hazardous Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution removes oil, debris and grime from model parts and mechanisms. Completely safe, fast and easy to use on all materials. 8 oz. Bottle makes 2 gallons of working solution".

Hi Grant, I would not

Hi Grant, I would not recommend soaking your bamboo comb in the ultrasonic bath--only the metal components. 

For the bamboo comb, use a hard bristle toothbrush to clean off the harmonicoccus ;o)
