    Are you making a lot of pieces that require an ultrasonic cleaner at the moment Richard or could you just use an ordinary toothbrush as some of us still do and washing soap which is a much cheaper option when starting out?
    It wouldn’t be on my shopping list when setting up a workshop unless I intended to produce a lot of work at one time
    It’s 2.30am here so don’t expect an answer to your question until morning

    It’s Caroline Richard so not Sir.
    If you don’t make many pieces then it’s an unnecessary investment at the beginning. A toothbrush will not scratch or we wouldn’t be advising the use of them

    You’ll get an ordinary toothbrush at your local pharmacy or preferably save up your old ones and reuse them

    Must say I have used the ultrasonic cleaners I use for my clock restoration but find the faff of charging it with the fluid cleaning it out when finished etc just isn’t worth the effort! I use the old toothbrush technique with soap and hot water. Recently I have used an old electric tooth brush....works well. Generally the tooth brush method I find faster and just as effective!

    I save all mine for cleaning jobs. However, I found that toothpaste residue can leave scratches on silver.
    So I put them through the ultrasonic

    I’ve never found that and you know what a high shine I expect
