Sharper Image Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner

Yes, it is highly effective for cleaning eyeglasses, watches, and other small, non-porous items like metal watch bands or small metal parts. Avoid using it on delicate gemstones like emeralds, opals, or pearls, as the ultrasonic vibrations can damage them.

For most everyday cleaning, plain tap water is sufficient to remove dirt and grime. If you are dealing with heavier buildup, you can add a small drop of mild dish soap to the water, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Since the tank is not removable, you should unplug the unit and manually pour out the water, being careful to keep the electrical components dry. Wipe the stainless steel interior with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots or mineral buildup.

The cleaner includes a specialized watch holder that keeps the watch case above the water line while allowing the metal band to be submerged. This ensures the band is cleaned thoroughly without risking water damage to the watch's internal movement.

Different items require different cleaning durations to achieve optimal results without unnecessary wear. Lighter cleaning tasks like eyeglasses usually only need a minute or two, while heavily soiled metal bands may benefit from the full five-minute cycle.
