Description
Tres Clean (concentrated impression tray & instrument cleaner) is typically used in dental clinics as a strong cleaning solution for removing contaminants from instruments and trays before sterilization.
๐งช Main functions
- Removes organic debris
Breaks down blood, saliva, tissue, and impression materials (like alginate & silicone) - Cleans impression trays effectively
Dissolves leftover impression material stuck on trays for easy reuse - Pre-cleaning for instruments
Helps loosen debris on dental instruments before they go into autoclaving - Degreasing action
Cuts through oils and residues that normal rinsing canโt remove - Improves sterilization efficiency
Clean instruments allow better penetration during sterilization (e.g., autoclave)
โ๏ธ How itโs usually used
- Diluted with water (based on manufacturer ratio)
- Instruments/trays soaked for a specific time
- Rinse thoroughly before sterilization
โ ๏ธ Important notes
- It is a cleaner, not a disinfectant (unless specifically stated)
- Always rinse properly to avoid chemical residue
- Follow correct dilution to avoid corrosion or damage
๐ฆท Why clinics use it
- Saves time in scrubbing
- Extends lifespan of instruments
- Ensures proper hygiene standard before sterilization
