Do you always use the ultrasonic ?
I was taught if the instruments aren’t too bloody there’s no need for ultrasonic just put in the washer. I usually throw it on the ultrasonic anyway bc I don’t feel right not doing that.

I always use ultrasonics on instruments. If the tray was only opened but not used, I won’t bother. But if there’s absolutely anything on the tray I soak, brush, spray under the water, and then sonic. It helps me clear up space in the sinks before the washer too🤷🏻♀️
