[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 6504383, member: 88"]I believe it is the vinegar, which is a mild acid, in the ketchup that actually does the cleaning. I use just plain white vinegar to clean the hardware of my atomizers. That way I am not having to mess with ketchup residue. I soak them in a small amount to cut through the dust, dirt & grime that is often adhered to the hardware from years of sitting on vanity tables. I always rinse them with water when I take them out of the soak. The hardware is often a base metal with a thin coating of gold plating so harsh chemicals or too much rubbing will of course ruin the plating.[/QUOTE]
