Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Ship Inn, a bustling gastropub in Bristol, was struggling to keep their white crockery free from the tea stains and greyish cutlery marks that build up over time. It was affecting their presentation and they were spending too much staff time on hand-polishing.
"We were about to invest in a whole new set of plates, but decided to try the ChemEco powder first. The difference after one wash was astonishing. Our plates are brilliant white again, and our glasses have never been clearer. It's saved us a small fortune and countless hours of work."
Robert Evans – General Manager
After implementing the destainer, the pub reduced its manual polishing time by 90% and postponed a £2,000 crockery replacement order indefinitely.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, when handling the powder.
- For machine use, add the recommended dose directly into your commercial dishwasher or glasswasher as per its manual.
- For pre-soaking, dissolve the correct amount of powder in warm water in a suitable container before adding the items.
- Never mix with other chemicals, especially those containing chlorine, as this can be dangerous.
Keeping It Going
- Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the powder from clumping.
- Keep the original label visible and refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full handling information.
- Keep a note of your stock levels; this 10kg tub is heavy and you don't want to run out unexpectedly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this powder safe for delicate or patterned china?
A: It's designed for professional catering crockery, but for delicate patterns or high-value china, we always recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Q: How much powder do I need for a standard dishwasher cycle?
A: The dosage depends on the level of soiling and your local water hardness. Always follow the specific instructions provided on the 10kg tub for optimal results.
Q: Can I use this to pre-soak cutlery overnight?
A: Yes, it is highly effective as a pre-soak solution for heavily stained cutlery and crockery. Just dissolve it in warm water first.
Q: Is this better than liquid destainers?
A: Powdered destainers are often more concentrated and economical for high-volume use. They are also easier to store and have a longer shelf life.
Q: Will this work in my bar's glasswasher?
A: Absolutely. It's an excellent restaurant glasswasher destainer powder that helps to remove cloudiness and restore a brilliant shine to all types of glassware.
Q: What are the main benefits of it being 'chlorine-free'?
A: It avoids the harsh smell of bleach, reduces the risk of corrosion on stainless steel, and is generally considered safer for staff to handle in a busy environment.
Q: Can I really use this on my chef's jackets?
A: Yes, it's formulated for use on white fabrics to tackle tough stains. It's a great way to keep workwear looking professional.
Q: Does this product help to remove limescale?

You might think that 'clean' is just about what you can see, but true commercial hygiene goes deeper. The 'built-in disinfectant' in this powder means it performs two crucial jobs in one go. While the powerful detergents are busy lifting physical stains like tea and coffee marks, the disinfecting agents are working at a microbial level to kill bacteria and viruses.
Think of it like this: washing a plate with regular soap gets the food off, but using this powder is like washing it and then putting it through a sanitising cycle. It achieves that essential level of hygiene required by food safety standards without you needing a separate product or an extra step. It’s a shortcut to compliance and genuine cleanliness, giving you and your customers total confidence.
