ultrasonic cleaner

High-frequency cleaning device

An ultrasonic cleaner is a device that uses high-frequency sound waves to clean objects submerged in liquid.

The sound waves create microscopic bubbles that collapse rapidly, dislodging dirt and contaminants from surfaces—including crevices too small for brushes to reach.

Ultrasonic cleaners are used for jewelry, eyeglasses, dental instruments, and precision parts: I dropped my ring in the ultrasonic cleaner for five minutes.
