[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4383821, member: 8708"]I only use it on solid silver earrings. I’ve not tried with plated as unless they are special I don’t bother cleaning them, just put them in the next job lot to sell!. If they were special then I wouldn’t risk them. We live on the Cotswolds in the UK and have VERY hard water. Everything scales up! That said, I use tap water in the ultrasonic cleaner, maybe I should use distilled!? I accidentally left some solid silver earring backs in the water for 24 hours after cleaning as I forgot about them :bag:. They were quite tarnished when I got them out but polished up ok. I wouldn’t put anything in held together with adhesive as it’s likely to loosen it. Definitely no vintage stuff with closed back rhinestones or pearls.[/QUOTE]
