You&#8217;ll be amazed at how convenient it is to wash things quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleaning stations come in various types, including commercial models and rentals. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WZNzLW\">Commercial cleaning stations are sold on Amazon and other sites, so they&#8217;re easy to get. <\/a><br>The biggest drawback is changing the wash fluid. If you&#8217;re using a link-type cleaning station like the one above, you need to establish a solid fluid replacement schedule, or you might end up making parts dirtier instead of cleaning them. <br>Plus, there&#8217;s a fire hazard with regular kerosene. And drying after cleaning takes a very long time. <br>Pros <br>\u2022 Inexpensive <br>Cons <br>\u2022 Wash fluid is kerosene (other options possible) <br>\u2022 Slow drying <br>\u2022 Managing and replacing wash fluid is tedious <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichibeikoyu.co.jp\/products\/products_04_01.html\">Decoboco uses a rental cleaning station from a company called Nichitsu Kogyo, and it&#8217;s extremely convenient. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost varies depending on the contract, so it&#8217;s best to contact them directly. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichibeikoyu.co.jp\/products\/products_04_04.html\">They also offer a free trial service, so it&#8217;s worth experiencing it firsthand. <\/a><br>By the way, we use the Model 30. <br><br>Pros <br>\u2022 The wash fluid dries quickly\u2014it dries instantly with a little air, and even without it, drying starts right away. <br>\u2022 Hard to ignite\u2014it only catches fire if you hold a burner to it for a bit, so it&#8217;s very safe. <br>\u2022 Staff come out at fluid replacement time and handle all the fluid changes for you. It&#8217;s always clean, and the fluid gets recycled, so it&#8217;s eco-friendly. <br>\u2022 The cleaning station pump output is excellent\u2014commercial cleaning stations have really weak pressure and just seem to wet things. But this station pumps out generously, so it&#8217;s very efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cons <br>\u2022 Poor cost-effectiveness if you don&#8217;t do much cleaning <br>If you&#8217;re getting by fine with parts cleaner, the price point might feel a bit high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I once visited a factory tour at a place that specializes in engines, and they had three cleaning stations (lower, middle, upper). They also had a cleaning machine that sprays high-temperature wash fluid while rotating at low speed\u2014serious operations are really impressive. <br><br>If you&#8217;re currently using a commercial cleaning station and feeling inconvenienced, I think it&#8217;s worth trying the free test (*&#8217;\u03c9&#8217;*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to cleaning parts, there are many different approaches.
