How Commercial Glass & Dishwasher Chemicals Work
Professional dishwasher chemicals work through specially formulated combinations of surfactants, alkaline agents, and water softeners. The process begins when your machine disperses precise amounts of detergent during the wash cycle, where alkaline components break down protein-based stains and greasy residues. Rinse aids then reduce surface tension so water sheets off rather than forming droplets, while glass washing detergents contain special ingredients that prevent cloudiness and etching on delicate glassware. For hard water areas, water softening chemicals prevent limescale buildup inside machines and on crockery. This powerful chemical science delivers consistently sparkling results even at the high temperatures and short cycles that commercial kitchens demand.
