What chemicals are used in commercial dishwashers?
Commercial dishwashers commonly use specialist dishwash detergent and rinse aid, while dishwasher salt may also be required depending on the machine and water conditions. Specialist products such as destainers may be used for more stubborn staining. Always follow the machine and chemical manufacturer's instructions.
What is glasswash detergent?
Glasswash detergent is specially formulated for use in commercial glasswashers. It helps remove drink residue, grease and marks from glassware while supporting a clean, professional finish.
Do commercial dishwashers need rinse aid?
Many commercial dishwashing and glasswashing systems use rinse aid to improve drying and finishing results. Requirements vary depending on the machine, water conditions and products being washed, so always follow the equipment manufacturer's guidance.
What is dishwasher salt used for?
Dishwasher salt is used with suitable water-softening systems to help manage hard water minerals. This can support machine performance and reduce limescale build-up. Always check whether your commercial dishwasher or glasswasher requires salt.
What is glass renovator?
Glass renovator is a specialist cleaning chemical designed to remove stubborn films, residues and build-up from suitable glassware. It can help restore clarity to glasses that have become dull or cloudy through repeated commercial use.
What is a destainer used for?
Destainers are specialist cleaning products designed to tackle stubborn stains that standard washing may not fully remove. Depending on the product, they can be useful for stains caused by tea, coffee and other difficult residues on suitable items.
