[Shop-talk] ULTRASONIC CLEANING

[MIQ MILLMAN]

I run just distilled water in the tank.

I put the dirty bits in zip top bags filed with what ever solution I think
works best.  Sometimes I'll use windex, or a home mix of water+rubbing
alcohol+dawn dish soap+baking soda.

Seal up the bag with the parts plus concentrated solution, run the cleaner
for 30 min or so, and the tank and water stays clean.

If the grungy bits aren't too bad, I can reuse the zip top + solution
again, and I keep the bag of fluid in an old plastic costco nuts container
with a wide screw top lid.
