The Kitiki Ultrasonic Cleaner has been designed for cleaning jewellery, coins, glasses, shells, and other objects that once had a good finish. It consists of a base unit with an electronic ultrasonic generator, a lift-out basket, and 225cc of cleaner.
An ultrasonic cleaner has a fixed chamber, part-filled with water and a little cleaner: no shot or grit. Electronically generated ultrasonic waves create minute bubbles which, during the low pressure part of each wave, grow until, during the high pressure part of the wave, they're compressed and implode. The energy released cleans the objects inside.
The base has a hinged lid, a plastic lift-out basket, an on button, and an off button. It measures 250mm x 170mm x 160mm, and weighs about 900gms. The 500cc stainless steel cleaning chamber will hold most small domestic valuables.
The CE-marked fully-enclosed 40kHz ultrasonic generator is rated at 230V 35W, so can use a regular mains socket. It comes with a 1.8 metre cable, ending in a UK 3-pin plug. Since the cleaner uses about the same power as two fridge bulbs, and only needs to be on for three minutes, the cost of using it is almost nothing.
The cleaner is available as complete ready-to-go kit. For prices, or to order on line, shop link on the right below the menu bar near the top of the page.

| THE KITIKI ULTRASONIC CLEANER: NOTES |
|
The Ultrasonic Cleaner will clean up finished jewellery and other objects, not put a shine on a rough surface. It won't clean off scratches, rust, silver-tarnish, or any corrosion that is chemically bonded: and it won't work on leather or wood.
You can also clean CDs, DVDs, magnifying glasses, reading glasses, sunglasses, combs, eyepieces, dentures, shaver heads, toothbrushes, and lots of things that have delicate surfaces, intricate shapes, or hidden parts.
The 40kHz sound waves are too high to hear. The cleaning action is at a microscopic level and won't damage anything. However, don't immerse watches unless they're 30m tested.
Using the cleaner is simple, so there's no manual. Half-fill the chamber with water, add a few drops of washing-up lquid and the things to be cleaned. Cose the lid, and let it run for 3 minutes. Experiment with the running time until you get the desired finish.
Using the basket for small things is optional, but it does absorb some of the energy. After cleaning, empty out the water and wipe the inside clean. Rinse the jewellery and dry it carefully with kitchen paper.
The instructions for all the tumblers and polishers can be printed here, using the instructions link below the menu bar near the top of the page.
