Essential Buying Considerations

Water Hardness & Machine Type

  • Match detergent to machine type—high or low-temperature systems need specific products.
  • Consider glasswashers vs. dishwashers—separate products often yield better results.

Volume & Efficiency Needs

  • Calculate monthly wash cycles—helps determine bulk purchase quantities.
  • Consider dosing systems for consistent results—pairs with commercial dishwashers.
  • Check phosphate content—some areas have environmental restrictions.

How Commercial Detergent & Rinse Aid Work

Commercial detergent and rinse aid are a dynamic duo that transform your washing cycle. The detergent kicks things off during the main wash—its alkaline formula breaks down protein, starch and grease with industrial-strength surfactants that domestic products lack. Meanwhile, rinse aid comes into play during the final rinse cycle, reducing surface tension of water so it slides off rather than forming droplets. This prevents water spots and streaks, while special ingredients neutralise minerals in hard water. The result? Glasses that sparkle, plates that dry quickly without water marks, and a dishwasher that stays free from limescale build-up—all crucial for maintaining the professional standards your customers expect!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Detergent & Rinse Aid

For optimal results, ensure your dosing is spot on—too little won't clean properly while too much wastes product and can leave residue. Always store chemicals below eye level for safety, and consider installing automatic dosing systems to maintain consistent results. Regular maintenance checks of your rinse and wash jets prevent blockages, while running a weekly machine cleaning cycle with descaler keeps everything in top form. Finally, train staff on proper loading techniques—this affects chemical efficiency dramatically!
