Doubts about cleaning watches with ultrasonic cleaner

May 09, 2022

Whether the watch can be cleaned with a small ultrasonic cleaning machine and whether it can be cleaned; Many people have doubts about whether they will damage their watches. First of all, it can be determined that small ultrasonic cleaning machine can be used to clean watches, and the cleaning effect is very good.


When it comes to the cleaning effect, we have to start from the principle of ultrasonic cleaning: the ultrasonic cleaning machine is conducted in the liquid with sound waves that exceed the human auditory sound frequency. When the sound wave propagates through the cleaning solution, because the sound wave is a longitudinal wave, the longitudinal wave will change the pressure in the liquid and produce countless tiny vacuum bubbles.



When the bubble explodes under pressure, it will produce strong impact energy to disperse the dirt hidden in the dead corner of the gap, so as to enhance the cleaning effect. Due to the high ultrasonic frequency, long and short wave length and strong penetration, the ideal cleaning effect can be achieved for the cleaning objects with hidden gaps or complex structures. Therefore, the use of small ultrasonic cleaning machine to clean watches in life is cleaner than our manual cleaning, because the role of ultrasonic can make the cleaning solution reach the corner that is difficult to clean for ultrasonic oscillation cleaning.


At present, the small ultrasonic cleaning machines used to clean watches in the market are generally household ultrasonic cleaning machines. The steel belt of mechanical watches or some gold and silver jewelry we usually clean have a certain hardness. The cleaning machines of household series generally have low power and the frequency is generally 40KHz. There will be no scratch on the surface of these objects.


Cleaning a watch is generally to clean its hand chain. When cleaning a watch, we put the dial of the watch face up, immerse the watch chain in water, and add a certain amount of cleaning fluid for cleaning. Therefore, we can rest assured that the ultrasonic cleaning machine will not cause damage to the interior of the watch.
