How to clean vintage sewing machine parts without scrubbing
Believe it or not it's true! There's a better solution.
I'd like to HIGHLY recommend a new 'toy' I bought for cleaning vintage sewing machine parts. It's a 'Costway 2.5 L Digital Heated Ultrasonic Cleaner' with a heat option. I ran these parts through several times, with the heat option on, and they look like new! I added a dime sized amount of simple green to the cleaning chamber.
I didn't scrub the parts at all, I simply wiped them off and they look new! It's the last time I scrub any old grimy part! I looked at so many ultrasonic cleaners before I settled on this one, because it has the perfect size basket area to lay the face plates down in. I chose this model with a heat option to help lift the nasty grime. It's simply awesome.
The price was decent too, considering there are other more expensive options out there. The pictures tell no lies.
