📢 Pro tip for clinic professionals: Avoid the 🐦 birdbath 🐦 by following our ultrasonic cleaning best practice! Here is our how-to: (1) Use two ultrasonic cleaners in your clinic – one for earmold cleaning, and the other strictly for cleaning your reusable clinic tools. For today's tip, we are talking about the former. (2) Obtain wide-mouth shot glasses to hold earmolds and cleaning solution. Since the soundwaves transmit through the shot glass to the fluid inside, less cleaning solution is wasted, and no two clients' molds come into contact with the same fluid. (3) In preparation, fill your ultrasonic cleaner with water, place your dirty earmold into your wide shot glass and fill with fresh earmold cleaning solution. (4) For cleaning, place the shot glass right into your ultrasonic cleaner, ensuring the water in the ultrasonic remains below the rim of the shot glass, and start the cleaning cycle. (5) At the end of the cycle, Dispose of both the cleaning solution and the water. The agitation will mix them, so they are both dirty fluids.
