[Jewelry making - Article 00048] - [Orchid] Cleaning out gunk!

    The posts about draino has brought up a question that I would like to
    ask. 

    I am doing some work in a shop to help them out. They do not have a
    steam cleaner, and I am frustrated by the length of time needed to
    clean rings in the ultrasonic. (It is good and large and operating
    properly.) The rings that concern me are the ones that need repair
    close to bead or channel set diamonds, but they are full of the gunk
    that accumulates from being worn and not regularly cleaned. This gunk
    ranges from greasy to rock hard. 

    Suggestions for solutions or chemicals to dissolve away this gunk
    would be greatly appreciated. Please include any warnings about their
    use, and any hazards to the jewellery and or me and the people around
    me. 

Thank you in advance.
