Whether manually or automatically washing your dishware, washing and sanitizing chemicals are essential warewashing supplies needed to keep your dinnerware, kitchen utensils, and cookware clean.
Manual dishwashing detergents are ideal for hand-wash only items like non-stick pots and pans, aluminum cookware, and kitchen knives. They are available in liquid, powder, or solid form.
Automatic dishwashing detergents come in either high or low temperature formulas to work with your compatible dishwashing machine. These formulas are available in liquid, powder, or solid form.
Rinse aids encourage rapid sheeting of water from dishes to decrease drying times, and are available in formulas for high or low temperature dish washing machines.
Sanitizer is used in manual or low temperature machine applications. High temperature machines do not require sanitizer because the extremely hot water effectively sanitizes dishes. Check out the chart below for recommended sanitizer concentration guidelines. Actual requirements may vary depending on local codes and water hardness.
