Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning Expert View Profile →
- Pro: Its performance on aged, heavily stained porcelain is truly remarkable.
- Con: As a potent chemical, it requires careful handling and good ventilation.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Copper Pot," a traditional tea room in York, was struggling with their beautiful, but aging, white porcelain. The constant flow of tea and coffee had left stubborn brown stains that their commercial dishwasher couldn't shift, impacting the guest experience.
"Our crockery is part of our charm, and it was starting to look tired. We were about to spend a fortune on replacements. This powder restored them after one soak. The results were immediate and saved us a huge expense."
Robert Finch – Proprietor
The tea room successfully restored over 200 pieces of porcelain, avoiding replacement costs of over £2,000 and elevating their presentation standards overnight.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Using The Powder Correctly
- Always wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection.
- Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
- Add the powder to warm water (not boiling) as per the instructions, never the other way around.
- Fully submerge items in the solution for the recommended time for best results.
Keeping It Stored Safely
- Keep the container lid tightly sealed when not in use to maintain potency.
- Store in a cool, dry, secure place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Crucially, store well away from any acids. Mixing chlorine and acid creates toxic gas.
- Ensure it is kept out of reach of untrained staff or the general public.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this Winterhalter tannin remover powder directly in my dishwasher?
A: No, this is formulated as a powerful pre-soak treatment to be used manually. It is not a detergent for the main wash cycle in your machine.
Q: How long do I need to soak my stained mugs for?
A: For most tea and coffee stains, a 15-30 minute soak in a warm solution is highly effective. Heavily stained items may benefit from a longer time.
Q: Will this remove hard water marks or limescale?
A: No. This product is a specialist for organic tannin stains. For limescale, you will need a dedicated descaling product.
Q: Is it safe for my patterned or branded crockery?
A: As a powerful agent, it can potentially affect delicate on-glaze patterns. We strongly recommend testing on a hidden area of one item first.
Q: Do I need to rinse items after they have been soaked?
A: Yes, this is a critical step. You must rinse all items thoroughly with fresh, clean water after soaking to remove any chemical residue before use.
Q: Can I use this on aluminium or silver-plated items?
A: No, chlorine-based products can damage or tarnish soft metals like aluminium and silver. Stick to using it on glass, porcelain, plastic, and stainless steel.
Q: Does this powder have a strong smell?
A: Yes, you should expect a distinct chlorine smell, similar to a swimming pool. This is normal, but it's why using it in a well-ventilated space is important.
Q: What is the main difference between this and regular dishwashing powder?
A: Regular detergent is for general, all-purpose cleaning. This is a concentrated, specialist stain remover designed to solve a specific, tough problem.

Explore more from WinterhalterHow Active Chlorine Lifts Stains You Can't Scrub Away
Ever wondered why tea and coffee stains are so persistent? It's down to compounds called tannins. Over time, they chemically bond to the microscopic pores in your crockery and glassware, creating a tough, discoloured film. This is where an active chlorine stain remover for glasswashers and dishwashers excels. Instead of just scrubbing the surface, the chlorine acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
Think of it like this: scrubbing is like trying to scrape paint off a wall, which is messy and often leaves traces behind. The active chlorine, however, works like a chemical paint stripper, dissolving the 'paint' (the stain) at a molecular level, allowing it to be simply rinsed away. This is why it can restore items to a 'like-new' state, reaching into tiny crevices where a brush or sponge could never go.
Who Should Buy This?
