Use a cleaner designed for an ultrasonic. Magic Green and PROsonic are what I use in the shop. I use water straight from the tap and no vinegar.

I use the Hornady or Lyman solutions. The active ingredient is mainly citric acid and they work just fine in my Lyman unit. It’s possible that your unit isn’t working right.
