Best Way to Use an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner
Ultrasonic cleaners make it very easy to preserve the sparkle of your jewelry. But how do these things work, and what else do you have to learn to use them correctly?
How Do Ultrasonic Cleaners Operate?
The ultrasonic cleaner is an ultrasonic tool that removes debris from your jewelry. The products are put in a cleaning solution filled tank. When the cleaner has been triggered, the motor generates ultrasonic vibrations through the air. Such movements break down the dirt particles on your jewelry sheet. The positive thing about ultrasonic cleaners is that they might clean up the elements of your jewelry which are otherwise inaccessible by more traditional methods.
How Different Ultrasonic Cleaners Are?
Ultrasonic cleaners differ with regards to bells and whistles–other features include dual tanks, integrated drying rails and tweak-able velocity changes–but all of them depend on the same basic principle, namely that once the machine is filled with water and the thermal component is triggered, high-frequency ultrasonic waves blast through the water to clean the jewelry. Although the essential operation is somewhat standard across devices, please consult the user manual provided by the manufacturer for specific instructions on your particular product and model.
How To Use Ultrasonic Cleaners ?
Place the ultrasonic cleaner on a dry, secure, and level surface and attach them to an electric outlet in the vicinity.
Fill a container with fresh, pure tap water in the cleaner’s tank. A fill line also marks the right level of filling. In the amount recommended, when recommended, by the manufacturer or your local jeweller, add an ultrasonic cleaning solution. These are usually non-toxic, mild, and biodegradable solutions. The manufacturer sometimes recommends only additives if heavy-duty cleaning is required for your jewelry.
Do not use ammonia and other strong, dangerous, non-biodegradable, or harmful cleaning chemicals to prevent damage to your jewelry and machine.
Place your jewelry or gemstones in the basket of the ultrasound cleaner and drop them into the tank. For a list of metals and gemstones that are reliable to wash, see the user manual of the cleanser. If there is a different location for your cleaner for certain kinds of jewelry, for example, a watch carrier or a ring stand, put the gem on these particular stations.
Open the deck of the equipment. If necessary, set the intensity level. Ultrasound cleansers for jewelry cleaning should generally be placed at a low or medium intensity.
If there is one, set the cleaner timer. Just 1 to 5 minutes at a time, do you wash your jewelry. To begin the cleaning process, press the “Begin” button of the unit.
Don’t Forget to Heat It Up
When a dual-tank ultrasonic cleanser , open the lid and move the basket to the rinse tank. Close the lid and position the unit for at least a minute or as the manufacturer suggests.
Switch off and unplug the cleaner, remove items, and spray the water carefully when the purifying process is completed. If your cleaner has one or thoroughly dry it in a soft clean, and good lint-free cloth, put your jewelry in its drying rack. Wash the tank clean with a towel and air-dry the unit before it is processed.
Do not use ammonia and other strong, dangerous, non-biodegradable, or harmful cleaning chemicals to prevent damage to your jewelry and machine.
How often will an Ultrasonic Cleaner be used?
The frequency at which you use an ultrasonic cleaner depends on how easily your gemstones get dirty. In general, every few weeks, you can wash your gems with ultrasound. You can clean your jewels every week if you wear them every day, and they collect dirt faster.
Which Jewelry You Shouldn’t Clean in Ultrasound?
Not all jewelry should be ultrasonically washed. Many gemstones can be damaged easily with ultrasound.
Natural jewelry may also be destroyed, such as coral pieces and amber. Also, do not include ultrasonic cleaner gemstones with heat treatment that have enhanced color.
When cleaning soft gemstones like emeralds, opals, and pearls, ultrasound cleaners are usually not recommended. Consult the specific measures in your user manual.
Please read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions or warnings.
