Detergent and Rinse Aid

Detergent & Rinse Aid

Detergent and rinse aid are the core chemicals that keep commercial dishwashers and glasswashers turning out clean plates and clear glassware service after service. The detergent does the heavy lifting on food residue and grease, while the rinse aid reduces water surface tension so water sheets off instead of beading, which cuts spots and streaks on glasses and cutlery.

Trade Insight

You might be tempted to cheap out on detergent and rinse aid, but from what you can tell that usually shows up as cloudy glasses, tea staining and lipstick marks that never quite shift. Most operators run separate machine settings and chemical strengths for glasswashers and dishwashers, then tweak the dosing if they start seeing spotting, film on glassware or strong detergent smell on plates after the cycle.
