Abstract
A method of cleaning concrete forms includes preparing a liquid comprising a mixture of water and a chemical, and heating the liquid to a temperature of about 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The concrete form is placed into the liquid, and an ultrasonic pressure wave is imparted into the liquid in the tank using an ultrasonic transducer powered by a generator.
