Thread: Cleaning soloution recipe for ultra sonic cleaner.

I found an ultra sonic cleaner sitting unused at my old man's place.
Never used one before but wanting to try it out.
What is a good solution to use?
It is not a big unit but would easily fit 20-30.308 sized brass and around 100 9mm.

I use 50% white vinegar and water with a little bit of detergent, seems to work ok. This has a bit more info http://www.6mmbr.com/ultrasonic.html

Hydrocloric acid +hydrogen peroxide cleans most stuff up pretty good.






DONT TRY THIS! JOKE

hot water, little bit of dishwash liquid and teaspoon of citric acid

I use less citric acid as it turns my brass pink at that strength, I have however put fresh lemon juice from one whole lemon into the water and it bought the brass up really clean and shiny

Cheers guys will give it a go.
Tried the vinegar one and although clean it left blemishes after they dried.

Had the same container for 3 years it's done a lot of brass

Yeah mate you dilute it. Think it's about a capful to a cleaner full, mine holds about 100 6.5 brass.
As Ebf said with these solutions rinsing in clean water is important.

I use 40mls per 2 ltrs of water as per info on the bottle

Thanks for that mauser, always wondered what component in brasso was the bad one

Thank you for all of you guys who reply and answer my question and also other questions that was pertinent. I found something that is working for me, i am not very sure if it is a good recipe to everyone but dishwashing detergent, lemon juice and a bit of salt in the warm water is doing a great job for me.
Hope it help as an option.

Cheers.

1 cup vinegar to 2 cups hot water, teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of dishwashing liquid.

I wash cases manually, agitate every 5 minutes for max of 30 mins. Rinse very well after with clean water.
