A method of cleaning a surface of an article using cleaning liquids in combination with acoustic energy. Preferably, an ultradilute concentration of a cleaning enhancement substance, such as ammonia gas, is dissolved in a liquid solvent, such as filtered deionized water, to form a cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid is caused to contact the surface to be cleaned. Acoustic energy is applied to the liquid during such contact. Optionally, the surface to be cleaned can be oxidized, e.g., by ozonated water, prior to cleaning.
