Twelve real-world cleaning scenarios, four chemistries. Tap a scenario card, then tap the cleaner it needs: enzymatic, alkaline, acidic, or neutral pH. Every miss comes with a warm coaching note and a memory anchor.
Protein digesters. For blood and tissue bioburden, works only while the soil stays moist.
High pH degreasers. For grease and heavy organic soil, everything needs a full rinse after.
Low pH descalers. For mineral scale, hard-water film, and lime deposits.
The safe harbor. For everyday cleaning of any metal, including unknowns.
Tap any scenario card above to start. The four chemistries are watching, and they are rooting for you.
Heat above about 140 degrees Fahrenheit coagulates protein, baking blood and tissue onto the instrument surface. Enzymes need warm or cool water so they can digest the soil instead of sealing it on.
High-pH cleaners attack aluminum and anodized finishes, causing pitting, discoloration, and corrosion. Instruments with aluminum components get neutral pH cleaner instead.
Mineral scale, hard-water film, and lime deposits, like autoclave chamber scale or washer-disinfector spray-arm film. Acid dissolves the mineral buildup that alkaline cleaners cannot touch.
When the instrument's metal is unknown or the set mixes materials. Neutral pH cleans safely without damaging finishes, making it the default for delicate or mixed loads.
