I've never had an issue with anything using Dawn. I don't like the vapors that Simple Green puts out. I was under the impression it contained ammonia, which might not be good on steel. I'll have to look at a jug again. Something in it reacts strongly with my sinuses.

Hi Gary, I got it from Harbor Freight and the brand is Chicago, item number 91957, 1.5 quart, stainless steel. If old age memory services it was around $125. It seems to be larger but probably is not. It's 110 volt, 60 cycle and 100 watt. It comes with a removable wire shelf. I made a basket out of screen wire to hold the items I clean, which sits on the wire shelf. I use distilled water after the mishap with the case coloring. Turbo Sonic also requires it. Add 1/2 ounce of Turbo Sonic to 20 ounces of distilled water for light duty and 1 ounce for medium to heavy duty. Cheers, Tom

I do not use a sonic cleaner, but I can understand the reluctance to use a flammable liquid for that (any) cleaning. When I was on active duty, the issued cleaning solvent was non flammable dry cleaning fluid that was used instead of the old GI standbys of mogas or diesel.
I do not know its effect on color case, but I do that it was effective on the gunk of machine guns. |

Lyman makes two cleaning solutions for the sonic cleaner . One specifically for brass/copper and the other for steel .
I use them both regularly , as to whats in either I have no idea . But to date they've worked very well . |

I use Dollar store cleaner degreaser (LA's Totally Awesome) 1 part cleaner 4 parts water. It's cheap, works good, non flammable and no damage to colors, real blue or springs.
