How does the ultrasonic cleaner frequency influence the vinyl record cleaning result?

There are basically two factors to consider:
​

• Lower frequencies are more efficient for removing larger 'microscopic' particles like dust and dirt.
• Higher frequencies are better at removing 'sub-microscopic' particles (think molecules, chemical compounds) such as found in fingerprints or deposits from cigarette smoke etc...

Over the many decades that ultrasonic cleaning has been used in the industrial and scientific environment, 40 kHz has been found to be the best compromise between these two trends for most cleaning applications.
