Dishwashers have long been an indispensable attribute of catering establishments. In restaurants, cafes and other institutions where there is a constant stream of dirty dishes, you need not only particularly reliable equipment, but also highly effective detergents. We will find out what professional dishwasher products are on sale and what are their features.
Features of professional chemistry
Means for an industrial type dishwasher have a number of differences from analogues used in everyday life. Many consumers buy preparations for domestic dishwashers designed to serve industrial machines.
Features:
- Professional detergents (PMS) are usually sold in large plastic cans of 5 liters each. Their average cost is 15 y. e.

- Not all ICPs are suitable for use in domestic dishwashers. If they are made on the basis of acids, they will cause irreparable harm to home typewriters. After several applications, nothing wrong with the dishwasher (PMM) will not happen, but if you use the concentrates pros regularly, the device will be damaged.
- Some liquid PMS give a lot of foam, which negatively affects household appliances. The foaming mass is poorly washed off the dishes, and if it gets into the control module, it can damage it.

Firstly, toxic substances will be 100% washed off the surface of the dishes, and secondly, the quality of washing will be lower.
Professional compositions are economically advantageous, but from the point of view of safety, their use looks risky.
