Excellent for cleaning jewelry. Most folks buy a small one for
cleaning jewelry but for a few dollars more a larger one will clean
ornate flatware effortlessly... also great for cleaning eyeware. I
don't know if it's true but I've heard some use it to clean dentures.
I sometimes use mine for cleaning fountain pen parts.
