As shooters, we all have to clean guns. At times, we may forego cleaning and wait until a convenient time, or we may make a cursory attempt at parts cleaning, just to get the worst of the grime off or out of our gun. We assume that hand-cleaning and lubricating is the most effective means to maintain a gun. The problem is the time it takes to clean a gun and the results of hand cleaning as sub-par. Hand cleaning tools are based on those tools developed in the early 1700s and do not provide thorough cleansing or lubricating.

Today, shooters or armorers strip down their gun they have to clean and complete the task by hand. This is time consuming, even if the shooter is only cleaning one gun, never mind the armorer who may have to deal with a large volume of cleaning guns. Ultrasonic gun cleaning only requires the gun be field-stripped, placed into the basket in the tank and in minutes comes out much cleaner than having detail stripped and laboriously cleaned by hand.
