FAQs
What is the dilution ratio for the Dirtbusters Ultrasonic Solution?
The recommended dilution ratio is 10:1, meaning 1 part concentrate to 10 parts water. For example, 100ml of concentrate mixed with 900ml of water makes 1 liter of cleaning fluid.
Can I use this solution to clean my smartwatch?
Yes, this solution is suitable for cleaning watch straps and casings made from compatible materials. Avoid submerging smartwatches entirely if they are not rated as waterproof, and do not use on delicate electronics.
Is this solution safe for all types of gemstones?
It is suitable for most gemstones, including diamonds. However, it is not recommended for plated opals or certain cheaper, porous, or delicate stones. If in doubt, test on an inconspicuous area first.
How long should I leave my jewellery in the ultrasonic cleaner?
For most items, a cleaning cycle of 5-10 minutes is usually sufficient. For heavily soiled items, you may extend the time, but monitor the process.
What is the pH level of this cleaning solution?
The solution has a neutral pH, making it gentle on both metals and skin.
Can I use the concentrate directly without diluting?
No, the solution must be diluted with water at a 10:1 ratio before use. Using the concentrate undiluted may be too harsh for some materials and less effective.
How should I store the cleaning concentrate?
Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.
Troubleshooting
Solution not cleaning effectively
Ensure the correct 10:1 dilution ratio is used. For stubborn grime, increase the soaking time in the ultrasonic machine or try gentle manual scrubbing with a soft brush.
Residue left on jewellery
Thoroughly rinse the items with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Ensure no cleaning solution remains in crevices.
Solution appears cloudy
This can sometimes happen. Ensure the solution is properly mixed. If the problem persists, it may be time to prepare a fresh batch.
