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

Stainless steel withstands cavitation, and ultrasound reaches into joints and cutting edges. It is the same method that is used for instruments in healthcare.

Watch out for

  • Ultrasonic cleaning cleans but does not sterilise
  • Carbon steel rusts – dry it straight away
