How to get (even) cleaner dishes in 5 steps

It’s not quite the same, is it?
A good red wine served in a glass with limescale spots does not give your guest the same experience as it would in a spotless one. And a knife with burnt-on residue won’t exactly earn you any extra chef’s hats during an evaluation.

Your professional kitchen means everything!
In this article, you’ll get five steps to achieving the best dishwashing results in your restaurant or commercial kitchen.

When you run a professional kitchen, dishwashing matters. It’s not enough to have a good dishwasher, add detergent and rinse aid, and press start. There are many more factors that affect the final result.

FIVE STEPS … to spotless dishwashing:

Set the correct water temperature

Check the rinse arms and pumps

Load the machine properly

Dose detergent and rinse aid correctly

Check (and choose) your water quality … for your professional dishwasher

Water for dishwashing can be divided into three categories:

Softened water

Partially demineralised water

Fully demineralised water

Avoid the classic dishwashing errors – know the signs that something is wrong.

Even the best machines and chemicals can’t perform miracles if the entire chain doesn’t work together — from water quality to settings and chemistry.

If just one element is off, you may experience:

■ Soap bubbles inside glasses and on dishes
■ Foggy or wet surfaces after washing
■ Streaks and lines on glasses
■ Foam in the dishwasher
■ Limescale spots on glasses and cutlery
■ Rust on cutlery
■ Corrosion inside the dishwasher
■ Reduced lifespan of the dishwasher
