Material suitability. Check the cleaner instructions against the metal, stones, coatings and settings in each piece. Do not assume every item of jewellery is suitable for the same cleaning method.
Working capacity. Compare the basket and tank dimensions with the pieces you intend to clean. The external machine size does not describe the usable cleaning area.
Cleaning routine. Review the supported solution, cycle controls and steps for rinsing, drying and maintaining the equipment.
Comparing options
Distinguish an ultrasonic machine from a polishing tool, cleaning cloth or solution. Their methods and compatible materials differ. For delicate or uncertain pieces, confirm the cleaning method with the jewellery maker before using equipment or chemicals.
Questions about Jewellery Cleaners
Can I put every gemstone in an ultrasonic cleaner?+
Do not assume so. Follow the cleaner and jewellery care instructions; gemstone type, treatments, coatings and the condition of settings can affect suitability.
Is cleaning solution included?+
Check the itemised package contents and the solution specified for the machine. A tank or basket pictured with liquid does not establish that cleaning solution is supplied.
