What is the Ultrasonic Washer?
About this Product
This product has an ultrasonic horn which vibrates at ultrasonic speed on moistened clothing to create micro-bubbles in the water. The bursting force of the bubbles assist in removing dirt and stains. The Ultrasonic washer is best for the removal of spot stains as soon as they occur on wearable clothing.
Do not use on delicate items such as leather, waterproof / water resistant
clothing, ornamented or detailed items or any clothing which will shrink, lose form or suffer surface alteration if placed in water.
This product will not easily remove, ink stains, dyes, chemicals and
adhesives.
The ultrasonic washer should not be used on varnished, waxed, polished
and other hard surfaces.
Check the indicated fabric information and instructions for handling. If you are
uncertain whether the fabric will be adversely affected, try using the washer on a small, inconspicuous part of the fabric first.
With the elapse of time, dirt may become more difficult to remove.
