    Will they break, the transmitters and receivers ? Or do they hold up fine after a bath ?

    Thanks

    Quoted from GLModular:

    Probably won't hurt them, but it's really the wrong way to clean electronics.
    I generally use a Simple Green solution, scrub with old toothbrushes, rinse thoroughly with hot water and then let dry for about 24 hours before use.

    What is the "right" way to clean Electronics then ? If you rinse yours with water wouldn't that pretty much be the same as an ultra-sonic bath ? I throw all kinds of circuit boards in the Sonic that will fit and never had an issue. I just wanted to know if optos were more delicate.
    Thanks.
