Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, was struggling with slow drying times and  persistent watermarks on their glassware, which impacted the speed of their service during the busy tourist season. They needed a reliable solution for their manual-dose commercial dishwasher.

"We were hand-polishing almost every wine glass, which was a real bottleneck. Since switching to the Sun Pro Formula rinse aid, our glasses come out of the wash spotless and  dry so much quicker. The team can now focus on our guests instead of polishing cutlery."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The bistro reported a significant reduction in labour, freeing up one staff member for 30 minutes during peak service, and  virtually eliminated complaints about water-spotted glasses.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Consult your dishwasher's manual to locate the rinse aid reservoir for manual dosing.
  • Carefully pour the rinse aid into the designated dispenser, avoiding any spills.
  • Set the dishwasher's rinse aid dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions, starting at the lower end of the 0.2-0.4ml/Ltr range.
  • Run a test cycle with glassware to check for perfect, streak-free results.

Keeping It Going

  • Adjust the dosage up or down slightly if you notice any streaking (too much) or spotting (too little).
  • Regularly check the rinse aid level and  top it up as needed to ensure consistent performance.
  • Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and  cleaning detergents.
  • Periodically clean your dishwasher's spray arms and  filters to allow the rinse aid to work effectively.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Dishwasher Chemicals

Not sure what your kitchen needs? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the right dishwasher chemicals for professional results.

Check Machine Type

Is your dishwasher a manual-dose or auto-dose machine? This product is a professional dishwasher rinse aid designed for manual systems. Using the wrong type can be ineffective or even damage your equipment.

Consider Water Hardness

Hard water contains more minerals, leading to limescale and  spots. Look for formulas that state they are effective in all water conditions, like this one, to avoid issues.

Analyse Concentration

A highly concentrated formula like this one offers better value for money. It might have a higher upfront cost, but the cost-per-wash is significantly lower, saving you money in the long run.

Identify Your Needs

Are you mostly washing glassware, heavy-duty pots, or general crockery? While this rinse aid is versatile, some specialist chemicals exist for specific tasks. A good all-rounder is often the best start.

Review Safety Data

Always check for COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) data sheets. Professional chemicals require proper handling and  storage, so ensure your staff are trained accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is rinse aid and  why do I need it?

A: Rinse aid is a surfacing agent that helps water slide off dishes easily. This prevents water spots and  streaks from forming as they dry, and  dramatically speeds up the drying process.

Q: Can I use this Sun Pro Formula rinse aid 2 litre bottle in my home dishwasher?

A: This is a professional-grade concentrate formulated for commercial, manual-dose machines. It's generally not recommended for domestic dishwashers which use different dosing systems.

Q: Is this the same as dishwasher detergent?

A: No. Detergent is for the main wash cycle to clean food off dishes. Rinse aid is used in the final rinse cycle to ensure a spotless, quick-drying finish.

Q: Will it leave a taste or smell on my glasses and  plates?

A: When used at the correct dilution, it is designed to be completely rinsed away, leaving no residue, taste, or odour.

Q: How do I know how much to use?

A: The recommended dilution is 0.2-0.4ml per litre of water. It's best to start at the low end and  adjust if needed based on your machine and  water hardness.

Q: Is this product effective in hard water areas?

A: Yes, this Sun Professional rinse aid concentrate is formulated to deliver excellent results in all water conditions, including hard water.

Q: Can I use this in my glasswasher as well as my dishwasher?

A: Yes, it is suitable for use in both commercial dishwashers and  glasswashers that use a manual dosing system for rinse additives.

Q: Why is a concentrated formula better?

A: It's more economical (lower cost-per-wash), requires less storage space, and  reduces the amount of plastic packaging waste your business produces.

How a Concentrated Formula Slashes Your Costs

Ever wondered why a commercial dishwasher rinse aid concentrate is more budget-friendly? Think of it like a bottle of squash concentrate versus a ready-to-drink carton. The ready-to-drink version is mostly water, but the concentrate is packed with the active ingredients. You just add the water yourself. This rinse aid works the same way.

Because it's so highly concentrated, you only need a tiny amount (just 0.2-0.4ml per litre of water!) for each wash cycle. This means a 2-litre bottle provides hundreds of washes, drastically lowering your 'cost-per-use'. It also means less storage space taken up by bulky containers and  less plastic packaging to dispose of, making it a smarter choice for both your wallet and  the environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants: Keep up with rapid table turnover by getting perfectly dry, sparkling crockery back in circulation quickly.
  • Country Pubs & Bars: Ensure every pint glass and  wine glass is crystal clear and  free from unsightly water spots.
  • School & College Canteens: A cost-effective solution for handling high volumes of trays, cutlery, and  plates daily.
  • Hotel Kitchens: Maintain high standards for room service and  restaurant dining with consistently pristine tableware.
