Application context
Prepare the working solution as one part LUXI iClean concentrate plus ten parts water. The ratio refers to the concentrate and water added to the bath; it is not a percentage statement and must not be silently reformulated.
Use LUXI iClean for items made from gold, silver, brass, bronze, platinum, palladium alloys, and stainless steel. Before ultrasonic cleaning, assess the entire item. Stones, pearls, enamels, adhesive joints, coatings, hollow elements, and complex construction may require a gentler cleaning method or may exclude ultrasonic cleaning altogether.
The working solution must not exceed 50 °C. A normal ultrasonic-cleaning cycle is about 30 seconds. Remove and inspect the item after the cycle. A single cycle must not exceed 60 seconds. Run another cycle only after checking the surface and difficult-access areas.
If polishing-compound residue remains, first check the amount of compound used during polishing, the condition of the wheel, and access to the contaminated area. Excess compound, a contaminated wheel, or compound packed into deep relief must not be compensated for by increasing solution temperature, ultrasonic power, or cleaning time.
Cleaning is complete when no compound, metal particles, greasy film, or contamination remains on the surface, in settings, inside corners, undercuts, or other difficult-access areas. Before electroplating, PVD, or another coating, inspect the item under directed light.
After ultrasonic cleaning, rinse the item thoroughly in clean water, steam-clean it, and dry it completely. No solution marks or dried water spots may remain on the surface.
Stop cleaning immediately if the surface becomes cloudy, loses lustre, changes colour, or if a coating, stone, enamel, or another sensitive element begins to change. Do not repeat the cycle until the cause has been identified.
LUXI iClean is not automatically suitable for every polished item. Material compatibility alone is not enough; the whole item, including all inserts, joints, coatings, and construction features, must tolerate the selected cleaning method.
