What is Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning?

Ultrasonic gun cleaning is a method of cleaning firearms by submerging disassembled parts in a liquid solution that is agitated by high-frequency sound waves, creating tiny bubbles that implode and effectively remove dirt, grime, and carbon buildup from even hard-to-reach areas of the gun, providing a deep and thorough clean compared to traditional manual cleaning methods.

How does it work?

Ultrasonic cleaners generate sound waves at a high frequency which create tiny bubbles in the cleaning solution; when these bubbles collapse, they release energy that dislodges dirt and debris from the gun parts.

What are the Benefits?

Ultrasonic cleaning has several advantages over traditional cleaning:

• Thorough cleaning: Reaches tight spaces and crevices that are difficult to clean manually.

• Fast cleaning process: Can significantly reduce cleaning time compared to traditional methods.

• Gentle on components: Can be gentler on delicate parts of the firearm when using the right cleaning solution.

Is Ultrasonic Cleaning Safe for My Firearm?

Ultrasonic cleaning is a very safe and proven method for cleaning metal and polymer surfaces. It is more thorough, more gentle, and can be superior to manual cleaning methods. Ultrasonic cleaning is not appropriate for wooden, laminated or Cerakote parts especially if they have any damage and we do not use it to clean these.
