A very good fit

Stainless steel is among the best things to run in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Is the piece solid, or plated/gilded?

How to do it

Time
6 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Two drops of mild dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly in the links and clasp.

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

Steel handles cavitation and water without any problem. Dirt in links and grooves comes loose where a brush cannot reach. Longines recommends ultrasonic cleaning for detached steel bracelets.

Watch out for

  • Not at the same time as titanium
  • Black or gold-coloured steel is a coating – see the question about plating
