Donnie's Art Shoppe

Don: what do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner?  I have a unit that MIL didn't use for dentures.

On my old one, I used different things dependent on what I was cleaning, most was too harsh and cleaned off too much. But I sometimes used household cleanser powder in water just to get a bit of abrasiveness, but it didn't work that well with this new one. I got a bottle of ammonia at Walmart for less than a dollar and put a small amount in some water along with a few tablespoons of detergent. That worked great even on some silver and did clean the grease off the plastic. This is what I used (didn't measure that accurately):

1/2 gallon of water
4 teaspoon of ammonia
1/2 cup of detergent

I saw somewhere that you can use vinegar instead of ammonia, I was going to try that next to see how it worked.
