Best way to clean kk ultra bits

[Kaylum]

Hi just wondering how people clean these bits. Have seen soon use coca cola but worried that they might get damaged by that method?

Thanks

All my bits get rinsed under the tap then go in the dishwasher

I wasnt sure about putting the kk ones in there as they are softer than stainless steel? Do you think they will be ok?

Yes, I've done it with kks and they've been fine

To make it shiny there used to be a special paste you could buy. I now use Brasso if I’m doing it for a show.

this.

If your bit has aurigan rings then use a bit of diamond paste on the rings if you want to shiny them up. Never use a cleaner on the mouthpiece, just wash with water (you can't see the tarnish on mouthpiece when the bit is being worn anyway).

I thought the tarnish was what was supposed to taste nice? I just wash mine in water. If she has been eating with the bit in, I may use water with washing up liquid then rinse in plain water.

But then, I buy the ones with stainless bit rings, so the outside looks good.

Mine get rinsed with water after use and when I take the bridle a part for cleaning, the bit us cleaned with washing up liquid. I have used a specialist paste but found washing up liquid was fine.

If you want 'as new', then I soak them in white vinegar (not for long!) and polish with toothpaste on the mouthpiece, Brasso on the rings.
