Hard plastic usually handles lukewarm ultrasonic cleaning – painted, glued or soft plastic can be affected.
How to do it
- Time
- 3 min
- Water
- Lukewarm, 35 °C at most – never hot
Only lukewarm water and a short time.
With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.
Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.
Why
Most hard plastics withstand lukewarm water and cavitation. Heat deforms plastic, and print, lacquer and glue joints can come loose.
Watch out for
- Never hot water
- Print and lacquer can wear
- Brittle, old plastic can crack
