ULTRASONIC CLEANING
Ultrasonic cleaning has a unique
ability to remove dirt that is not
easily accessible by using other tra-
ditional means. Ultrasonic cleaners
are used to clean many types of
objects, including jewelry, optical
parts, dental and surgical instru-
ments and electronic equipment.

The smallest features in a vinyl
record groove are the size of a few
micrometers. Due to their minute
size, it is difficult for the bristles of a
typical vinyl cleaning brush to clean
the entirety of the record groove.
