Running a successful bar or restaurant involves attention to detail, and an overlooked aspect is often the choice of chemicals for your commercial glasswasher and dishwasher. At Barcare Supreme, we understand that the right cleaning chemicals are essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your equipment. In this blog, we’ll explore why selecting the appropriate cleaning agents is crucial and how using the wrong ones can lead to unintended consequences.
The hidden impact of the wrong chemicals:
Commercial glasswashers and dishwashers are designed to work with specific chemicals to ensure optimal performance. Using poor quality detergent and rinseaid can compromise the effectiveness of the machine, leading to poor cleaning results, residue build-up, and potentially damaging your machine.
Just as poor quality shampoo can damage your hair, poor quality cleaning detergents can harm your commercial glasswasher and dishwasher. Over time, using poor chemicals may cause corrosion, deteriorate seals, and contribute to the breakdown of vital components, shortening the lifespan of your equipment.
The price trap:
While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper cleaning detergents to cut costs, this decision can be a false economy. Low-cost chemicals may not be formulated for commercial equipment. Their composition may be unsuitable for the materials used in glasswashers and dishwashers.
The short-term savings from using cheap chemicals can be quickly negated by the long-term costs of repairs and maintenance. Investing in quality cleaning agents designed for your specific equipment can save you money in the long run. Remember, you wouldn’t use poor-quality washing-up liquids in your own home, so why take the risk in your commercial space?
Insights from Andy Wainwright, Managing Director for BSL:
“Our core business is supplying glasswashing and dishwashing machines, so it’s vital we provide the best possible cleaning detergents to optimise performance and prevent machine damage.” says Wainwright.
“It’s incredible how many callouts we receive each year that are attributed to customers using poor-quality chemicals. Not only can it result in a poor clean but can also cause damage to the machine. Internal components within the machine start to degrade and perish.”
Wainwright emphasizes that hot water alone is insufficient, and it’s the chemicals that perform the cleaning:
“Glasswashers and dishwashers simply pump water over the basket contents. Water on its own isn’t going to degrade grease, yeast, fat, or proteins. It’s the chemical that does the cleaning. Too often, chemicals are undervalued, purchased based on convenience or price without considering their cleaning performance or impact on the machine.”
