I have heard, and read in the operations manuals, that you are not suppose to use flammable liquids in an ultrasonic cleaner, but I worked at a place that had been using acetone in Ultrasonic cleaners for about 20 years with no explosions. When I had one, I used Dawn or Ajax dish soap with hot water. I sometimes used flammable liquids in a separate container sitting in the water. My U-S tank was large and filling it with solvent was expensive. I would put small parts into a glass jar with the solvent, then put the jar in the U-S cleaner. It worked fairly well. They make special cleaning fluid; some of it contains acids. If I left brass parts in too long they would turn pink because the zinc was being removed from the surface leaving just copper.
