Will this cleaner work using mineral oil as the cleaning solution?

I don't think it would work that well. I use simple green and water, it works terrific! I use it for cleaning carburetor...

I woild think mineral oil would be to thick and u should always be very careful usimg any flammable solution with a heating source as recommended by some.

I use mineral spirits to clean my carbs. (small engine and motorcycle carbs).Works great. Fill a mason jar (canning jar) with the mineral spirits and parts to be cleaned, then I fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water up to the same level as what's in the jar.Saves on having to use tons of mineral spirits.I use different cleaning solutions depending on what I'm cleaning.

The heating function did now work for us using mineral oil - it does not seem to flow well enough. We were hoping to use it to clean the wax off 3D printed parts. So now we use a crock-pot with mineral oil to clean the bulk of the wax and then soapy water in the ultrasonic cleaner to clean off the remaining residue.

No, not at all. It cleans right up with windex. The solution for lack of a better word is evaporative lubricant. So you shouldn't have a problem.

I have never used it for this purpose, but upon re-reading the bottle I would presume it would be like using any presoak treatment. I have used for removing dirt and great from metal, plastic, etc. and it's great. Hope this helps!

I think it would work well, though it might be a bit faint if you mix it with a carrier oil.

Not at all. This is just oil based dissolvant that cleans grease off surface.

I agree with the other responder, but mineral oil is what I have used on it to refresh the surface and that seems to get rid of water streak marks.

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

That is what I use it on, the problem is the dust and dirt doesn't stick to the mop like a real dust mop.

if everything is REAL clean to start with it should work fine. No dust/grit or grease/oil...

Probably won't do much. This is a soap scum and mineral deposit remover - i.e. gloms onto metal ions and dissolves them so remove hard water and soap scum build up. Grease is made up of fatty acids, need a surfactant based cleaner which dissolves lipids and fatty acids.

If Dr. Bronner's is not oil-based, it would probably be OK. Start with just a few drops and see how everything looks and washes up. If you have an oil-based scent, however, I don't think it would be good for the machine or the cleaning process. Good luck!

Yes, it cleans and lubricate. If bore really dirty, better to use solvent or bore cleaner.

Although it says in the manuel you can only use their cleaning solution that you have to order...I have used my own cleaners for the sprayer and it's worked just fine. I would make sure it's a thin diluted form to prevent any clogging.

Yes - this is NOT a water based product and you need to use mineral spirits to clean brushes, etc. after using it. It is awesome, though!

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

Yes, I use mineral spirits in my parts washer. Just make sure you put enough in to cover the pump housing, since the solvent reduces friction in the pump and also cools it.

Never tried it for that but it might work. It sure did the job in removing oil from concrete. I think it would be worth a try.
