Pine-sol ultrasonic bath

[Guest]

What is the advantage of using a dilute solution of pine-sol (acidic) versus dilute laundry detergent (basic)? I know that the basic solution will entrain the oil in the solution whereas the acidic will "crack" it or force it out of the water.

Pine Sol (and Simple Green) have more surfactants, which break apart the offending petroleum compounds and thus make them flow out of that tiny passage that they've been blocking

will pine sol clean varnish? im going to get some carb cleaner, but was wondering if it will break up the varnishy residue in the bowls and jets, i have a set of carbs they been settin a long time

Why use a floor cleaner when there's a lot of stuff out there much better than Pine Sol. In my 2.5 gallon ultra sonic cleaner, I use a product from Multi-clean called Formula 340. It works great. Costs about $20.00 a gallon but you dilute it so the cost per use isn't that great.
