Description

Commercial glass wash detergent for beer and wine glassware

A busy bar lives and dies on how the glass looks when it reaches the customer. Lipstick on the rim, greasy fingerprints and the hop oils left by the last beer all cling to glassware, and those same films are what flatten a freshly poured head. Agar Glass Wash is the machine detergent that clears them.

This is a concentrated detergent for commercial glass washing machines and dishwashers, built around surfactants that lift oil, grease and soil off the glass so it rinses clear. A water softener in the formula locks up the calcium and magnesium in hard water, which is what otherwise dries onto glasses as a cloudy film. Dosed at the right rate for your machine, glassware comes out clean and pours the way it should.

The 5Lt drum is a concentrate, so one container covers a long run of wash cycles at typical machine dilutions. Product and safety data sheets are available on request, so your team knows exactly what it is dosing and how to handle it.

Clear glasses that pour a proper head: it lifts the grease, lipstick and hop oils that cling to glassware and collapse beer foam, so drinks reach the customer looking right.

Holds its own in hard water: a built in water softener binds the hard water minerals that dry onto glass as a cloudy film, so glassware rinses clear instead of dull.

One concentrate for the whole bar: it doses from undiluted up to one part in nine parts water depending on the machine, so a single 5Lt drum covers a long run of cycles.

Matched to common machines: set dilution rates for widely used glass washer and dishwasher models let staff dose it correctly the first time, without guesswork.

Simple to store and carry: it is not classified as a Dangerous Good for transport, so it sits with the rest of your bar chemicals without special handling.

  • Commercial glass washing machines and dishwashers.
  • Beer glasses, wine glasses and everyday drinking glassware.
  • High volume hospitality glass washing in bars, pubs, clubs and function venues.

FAQ

Q. Can I just use dishwashing liquid in the glass washer instead?

A. It is not worth it for glassware. Ordinary dishwashing liquid tends to leave a film that dulls the glass and flattens beer head. Glass Wash is a machine glass detergent that lifts oils, lipstick and fingerprints and rinses clean at the machine dilution, so glasses come out clear and pour a proper head.

Q. Why won't my beer hold a head even after washing?

A. Head loss comes from invisible oily films on the glass: grease, lipstick, hop oils, or leftover detergent. Glass Wash lifts those oils and rinses clean when it is dosed correctly. If a head still collapses, check the machine is rinsing thoroughly and let glasses air dry rather than wiping them with a tea towel, which leaves an oily film.

Q. Will Glass Wash fix cloudy or hazy glasses?

A. It clears greasy film and soil, and its water softener stops new hard water film forming. A permanent cloudy or etched look is usually mineral scale baked onto the glass over many washes, and no detergent reverses that. Fixing existing scale means treating the machine's water or replacing the glasses.

Q. How much Glass Wash goes into the machine?

A. It depends on your machine. Some models run it undiluted, while most dose between one part in three and one part in nine parts water. For manual topping up, use about 3 mL per litre for light soil and up to 15 mL per litre for heavy soil, then set the dispenser to match.

Q. Will there be chemical residue on glasses people drink from?

A. Not when the machine is dosed and rinsing correctly. At the working dilution the wash water is no longer classified as hazardous, and the machine's rinse cycle clears it before the glass is used. Wear gloves and eye protection when you handle the concentrate, since that is the irritant stage.

Q. Do I still need a separate rinse aid with Glass Wash?

A. Glass Wash is the wash detergent, not a rinse aid, so whether you run one depends on your machine and water. If you do use a rinse aid, keep it dialled back, because an over dosed rinse aid is a common cause of filmy glasses and flat beer.
