Homes in Calgary are vulnerable to many damages and disasters, be it from the snow, fire, or flood. In such cases, the delicate and expensive electronics in your home can get damaged, have soot or rust buildup, and stop working. And replacing them can get very expensive, for you or your insurance provider. Lucky for you, there is a much cheaper alternative to restore your electronics: ultrasonic cleaning.
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Whether it is a toaster, mobile phone, or a printer, any electrical equipment can be cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner. It is a gentle, safe, and fast process that uses ultrasonic frequencies ranging from 20-40 kHz to agitate a fluid. The agitated liquid produces many small bubbles that appear and collapse repeatedly in a process called cavitation. In turn, cavitation breaks down the soot and gunk buildup on the surfaces of the electronics.
Although water can be used for ultrasonic cleaning, added solvents can enhance the cleaning process. Don’t worry; it is an entirely safe process. The manufacturers themselves use a process similar to this to clean the electronics during the manufacturing process. So, the solder joints and delicate components of the electronics are protected during ultrasonic cleaning.
What are the Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Many providers of restoration services use vacuum cleaners and harsh brushes to clean the electronics, which is questionable at best. They don’t clean out all the gunk, soot, and dirt, and they may end up damaging the delicate circuits of the electronics. Instead, ultrasonic cleaning is much safer and efficient. Here is why.
It Cleans Deep
Brushes don’t reach everywhere, but liquids do. During the ultrasonic cleaning process, the electronics are dipped into the agitated liquid that gets into each nook and corner of the electronics. This ensures every last corner is cleaned and ridden of dirt and soot. It also eliminates the possibility of acidic corrosion that may arise due to salt or mineral buildup over time.
Do note that deep cleaning is not suitable for disinfecting surfaces of the electronics as it does not efficiently kill viruses and bacteria. For that, you need a dedicated biohazard cleanup.
It is a Fast Process
Cleaning a single piece of electronics takes anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes, depending on the damage. This means that you don’t have to wait an entire month to get your electronics back in running condition. Considering the amount of stress and money this process saves you, the fast time of cleaning is an added benefit that no other restoration services can match.
It is Diversified
Disasters do not discriminate; they damage all electronics alike, be it a small fridge, an expensive phone, or a vintage stove. Here, restoration services that use ultrasonic cleaning come in handy as they can be a one-stop solution for electronic restorations. This is because ultrasonic cleaning can be used to clean anything, regardless if your electronics contain wood, plastic, glass, fabric, or metal.
