FILTERS AND INSTRUMENTS COME OUT SHINY AND CLEAN!
My instruments get all kinds of debris, blood, etc. caught in the crevices and grooves. This needs to be cleaned/removed before sterilization or the debris hardens on the instruments and burs. I first tried this with my lab burs; soaking them in a mixture of 1000+ and water and all the debris dissolved away. The instruments and burs even came out sparkly new and shiny. Now I do this with all my burs, instruments, lab burs, bands; anything metal that needs to be cleaned before sterilization. The assistants love it because they don't have to scrub anymore, just soak for a while, rinse and then they can bag them and autoclave.
I use 5:1 for pure soak with a lot of debris and 10:1 in the ultrasonic cleaner. For small burs I use a 50-50 mix to dissolve quicker. The more 1000+ the better and quicker. I have left burs and instruments overnight and it doesn't harm them or dull them at all. They come out shiny and clean with just rinsing.
The photos show filter screens of my high speed suction machines that evacuate all that we do in the operatories before sewage entry. The “Before” photo (Photo 1) shows the screens washed in very hot water with a scrub brush. The “After” photo (Photo 2) shows the screens that were soaked overnight in a 10:1 mixture of water and 1000+. Then I rescrubbed them with a brush and hot water. It took very little effort and wow, do they shine!
What a great product!
