Ultrasonic Watch Cleaner

Recommended Posts

I use a small ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which is a perfect size for cleaning watch cases and bracelets.

Normally I use it with just warm water and a spot of washing up liquid.

What would be the recommended proper cleaner to use and should I rinse after the cleaning is complete?

If so what would you recommend.

Thanks for any advise, Mike

Washing up liquid is ok to use but I don't find it the most effective on really caked up cases and bracelets.

I actually use Morrisons own brand "Savers" all purpose cleaner diluted 1:1 with water. It's really cheap and very effective, and just requires a rinse in hot water.

I don't know if there is anything specially made for watch cases but I doubt that it would be much more effective, and can guarantee that it would be a lot more expensive.

Needless to say this is just for cases and bracelets, movement parts go through L&R chemistry in an Elma cleaner.

Hot water and a bit of dish soap works good for me- the hotter the water the better.  If there is any exposed brass I'll add a small amount of vinegar to just to shine it up.
