    Hello everyone-I need to find an effective detergent alternative for
    my ultrasonic cleaner. I want to go biodegradeable, safe, non-toxic
    route. Also would prefer in powder form so I can distribute safely
    with no spills to my other locations.Also something far less
    expensive than anything marketed to jewelers. I want to use a
    concentrated citrus cleaner-but everything is mondo expensive. I
    remember even 5 years ago you could buy a gallon of concentrate from
    a hardware store and it lasted quite a while-ratio like 40 parts to
    1. Now it seems even a spray bottle of the stuff is over 5 bucks. 

    I researched online and found a company selling 10lb min orders for
    7.99/lb.I think I may order it but want to see if anyone else has
    other solutions. The company I found doesnt give samples anymore
    because it has been on the market for over 10 years so the
    manufacturer doesnt feel they need to impress anyone else I guess.
    They tell me they mostly sell to grade school cafeterias because its
    food safe. 

    Anyone interested look at
