| Cider vinergar and hot water does a pretty nice job and the price is right. Have not used the IOSSO solution. |

| I have some. It does reasonably well. Ceramic media in a vibrator tumbler is better, though. Use with a lot of water and an acidic detergent. |

Does this stuff work? Has anyone tried it?
It doesn't clean as well as a vibratory cleaner, but it is much faster. The cases end up clean, but not shiny, new looking. I think it cleans up the inside of the case better than tumbling, specially the smaller calibers. I'm trying to come up with something to wash out the lube inside the case. I've been using a coffee can filled with a few inches of acetone. I just drop in the cases, shake it for a few seconds and remove it. It tends to clean the outside really nice too. But the fumes are a little too much sometimes.

| The best liquid brass cleaner ever made.
It does not make the brass shiny but that is what there QuikBrite polish is for.
I once submerged an old 50 BMG case from the 1940's halfway in a bucket of IOSSO, I did not scrub it and took it out about 15-20 min later and it was nice and clean.
It is non-etching, literally the best ever.
Try it for yourself and you will see.

| Bringing this back to life because I'm just starting out and got some of this stuff on a friends recommendation. Apparently it's "Environmentally friendly. " so disposal shouldn't be an issue.
Is this a one time use item or can it be reused several times? |

| Liquid brass cleaner. Mix, 1 pint water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 tea spoon salt, 1 tea spoon detergent (wisk) Mix in plastic container like tupperwear that has a removable top, with a pour cap for venting. Put brass in, shake for 5 minutes or so, drain , rinse in clear water 2 times. Do NOT leave brass in longer then 30 minutes as mix is a mild acid. |

| I like the Iosso a lot. Easy to use and quick. Does do a good job on the insides. Only downside is the cases don't get shiny perty, but if you don't mind that then go for it. Kinda pricey though.

| It does everything its supposed to. I used it a lot before I bought a tumbler and it worked rather well. But as others have said, it doesn't leave the cases smooth and shiny. Also if you don't rinse them well enough it leaves behind a white residue. It is reusable many times depending on how dirty your brass is. |

| Well, for $20 I bought a gallon, probably last me for years. I'll polish afterwards with corn.
Thanks, Rob |
