Most of our posts are business-related, but there are plenty of uses for an ultrasonic cleaner in the home. We offer some tabletop units that are ideal for these tasks, some of which you may have never even considered using an ultrasonic cleaner for, such as women’s hair accessories. This is far more effective than handwashing or soaking the items, and more importantly, it will help avoid abrasive cleaning that could break the products down over time, requiring them to be replaced.
Why Ultrasonic Cleaning?
The secret as to why ultrasonic cleaners are so effective is all in the bubbles. The machines create ultrasonic waves, which in turn create microscopic bubbles that travel to the items inside the tank. These tiny bubbles carry the cleaning agent to the item, then implode when they come into contact with a surface. Because they are so tiny, they are able to travel to areas virtually impossible to clean manually. It is ideal for items such as hair accessories, which can have hard-to-reach areas, fine details, and intricate patterns.
The Benefits…
Thorough and Gentle Cleaning
As we noted above, the nature of the cleaning process means that every surface, nook, and cranny of the item in the tank will be cleaned thoroughly, something that is virtually impossible to achieve when cleaning manually, even with a long soak. Some of your accessories could be delicate family heirlooms, and the gentle nature of this cleaning process will help preserve them, not break them down over time like abrasive cleaning methods.
Time-Efficient and Convenient
One of the most significant selling points ultrasonic cleaning offers over and above its effectiveness is the amount of time it can save you when cleaning items. Not only will you no longer have to stand over the sink to clean your items, but the time it takes to clean them is also reduced, but you can still spend that time doing something else because once you set the tank, you can walk away until the cleaning cycle is completed.
Maintaining Hygiene and Aesthetic Appeal
As with anything coming into contact with your skin, you want your hair accessories to be free of contaminants to reduce the risk of possible infections or other skin irritations. By using an ultrasonic cleaner, you are not only maintaining the integrity of the piece, but you are also making it more hygienic, a true win-win situation.
Environmentally Friendly
As noted in other posts, our cleaning agents are water-based, meaning no harmful chemicals or detergents going down the drain to harm the environment.
Restoring and Preserving Delicate Items
We touched on this above, but it is really important to stress that this is far more gentle than any other cleaning method you use. Vintage pieces and family heirlooms can be very fragile, and you want to protect them when you are cleaning them. You will no longer have to live through the horror of seeing a small piece of the item break off when you are cleaning it manually. All you need to do is place the item in the tank and ensure the settings are correct; the machine will do the rest.
