Gallon of Cleaning Solution
This Gallon of Clock-Cleaning-Solution concentrate has a special formula. The formula is for mechanical and manual cleanings. This means that it is versatile enough to use in ultrasonic cleaners as well as manual cleanings. Above all, this is an ideal cleaning solution for antique pocket watches.
It is also perfect for clocks that have protective coatings. Movements that have years of built up oil and dirt will look brand new. All of the grime that builds up in the gears will melt away. So when it is all done, the plates and gears will be back to their shiny appearance.
After using the solution, you must rinse out the movement with water. The most important part is to thoroughly remove the water from the movement once the rinsing is complete. Immediately shake out the movement and use a hair dryer to blow out the water.
After that is done, thoroughly shake it again and dry it again. Repeat this process several times so the movement is completely dry. Above all, this is the most important step in the process. So be extra vigilant in the drying process. We cannot stress this enough. Absolutely all the water needs to be out of the movement.
If any water is left in the movement it will rust. Once this happens, the movement is no good. One gallon of this concentrate will make 8 gallons of cleaning solution. Rinsing can also be done with Drizebrite. If cleaning seems like a daunting task, please do not hesitate to contact us about our clean, oil, and inspection service.

What grade of plastic is a safe vessel for storing clock cleaning mixture?
I suppose it would be the same type of plastic of the gallon jug it is shipped in.
