Cleaning Methods
There are two methods of cleaning - direct and indirect. Each has advantages and
disadvantages. When in doubt, run test samples using both methods to decide which
one produces the best results for you.
Direct method
➢
Items in perforated insert tray
➢
Item suspended
How it works:
•
Fill the tank with warm water and a cleaning solution.
•
Place the items to be cleaned in a perforated tray and lower
them into the tank. You can also suspend items on a wire and
then immerse them in the solution.
The advantages of this method are:
•
The simplicity of operation and cleaning effectiveness.
Indirect method
➢
Items laid randomly in solid insert tray
➢
Items placed in beakers
How it works:
•
Fill the tank with warm water and a cleaning solution.
•
Pour your solution medium into one or more beakers or into a solid
insert tray.
•
Place the beakers in a beaker positioning cover or a solid insert tray to
fit your cleaner. Beakers should not touch the tank's bottom.
The advantages of this method are:
•
Removed soil stays in the beaker or tray so you can easily examine,
filter or discard it.
•
You can use one or more solutions at the same time.
•
Two completely different cleaning solutions.
•
One beaker or tray with a cleaning solution and one with a rinse
solution.
•
Cleaning solution in your tank needs to be changed less often.
