Cleaning atomizer

[Oceaneco]

I still believe an ultrasooncleaner will work for the best, so i'm trying to get me one but its out of stock I see

I tried the ultrasonic with a mild detergent and it did nothing for my atomizer. The black residue is still there. I asked my boyfriend what he thought and he said it is baked on residue that will probably need a solvent to remove. So, for now, I will just keep replacing the ats and maybe clean them a little more often so they do not build up quite so fast. I think that is the key.

Ok
So
After reading and testing (with success) the coke routine, I dreamed yesterday night of a healthier, more natural way : lemon juice -aby yeah-)
So after work tonight I've been trough 6 easy steps with one weak atomizer :

1 - water in a pan boiling
2 - adding lemon juice (the juice of a lemon for one atomizer)
3 - adding a little bit of salt
4 - soaking the atomizer for not more than 2 minutes in the mixture.
5 - sorting the atomizer and drying it (draining and stuff)
6 - driping puffing

THEN MAN !!!!!! BETTER THAN WHEN I GOT IT FIRST !!!! A CHIMNEY !!!! SO MUCH MORE BETTER THAN WITH THE COKE BATH !!!!
GOT YA GOT YA GOT ya

Jim--the blow dryer works very well but you need to hold that atomizer with a potholder as it gets to hot to handle. I put mine in the oven on 150 degrees for about 10 minutes and it works very well----Sun

Sounds good. Since I'm dealing with microwaves in the rooms, I don't haqve access to a conventional oven, so I'll give the hair dryer a shot.

Idea - A wood stick, such as a doctors tongue depressor. Carve a hole to snugly fit the atomizer at one end, and hold the other end of the stick while drying.

Jim--that is a great idea with the stick and the blow dryer---Seems like everone keeps thinking out of the box---Nice Jim--Thanks as that is a good tip-----Sun

If you have a capaccino or expresso machine, the frother tube makes a GOOD steam cleaner. Careful to use a rubber tongs! Cleans burner even for penstyle. (Use it for rings and earrings, etc. also)

Or a Jewelry steam cleaner, like Steam Jet. Should need no added cleaner or solvents for either method, just blow out (mouth or compressed air) and let dry.

carefully pick off any embedded wool.

Yes, I've heard of people using tongs to hold the atomizers when using heat, steam, etc.

I tried this, and it WORKED!!!! Could not believe it!! I don't know if it actually removed the black stuff cause I can't really see down the atomizer very well, but it did bring it back to life!!! Thanks Misantroll!!
