Description

Fast, spot-free drying in your commercial dishwasher or glasswasher

In a busy kitchen or bar, crockery and glasses come out of the machine wet and covered in water spots, and someone ends up hand-polishing every rack before service. Agar Rinse Aid works on the final rinse to fix the cause rather than the symptom. It lowers the surface tension of the rinse water so it runs off in a thin sheet instead of sitting in droplets that dry into spots.

This is a rinse additive for commercial dishwashers and glasswashers, not a detergent. It goes into the machine's rinse aid line and doses automatically on the final rinse cycle, so your wash detergent still does the cleaning and the rinse aid handles the drying. Crockery, glassware and cutlery come off the rack clear and dry, ready to stack or set straight away.

Because the water sheets off and evaporates, plates and glasses dry without hand-towelling, which takes a real job off staff during a rush. The 5Lt drum feeds the dispenser through plenty of cycles before it needs topping up, so it suits restaurants, cafes, commercial kitchens, bars, pubs, clubs, hotels, function centres and catering operations running machines all day.

Ready to use with no diluting, it doses neat through the machine and needs no extra rinsing step after the cycle. The current SDS and PDS are available so your team can check handling and storage before it goes into the machine.

Spot-free crockery and glassware: lowering the rinse water's surface tension stops droplets forming, so plates and glasses dry clear without water marks or streaks.

No hand-drying between racks: items sheet off water and dry as they come out, so staff skip the towel-polishing step and turn racks around faster.

Ready to use, no mixing: it doses neat through the machine's rinse aid line, so there is no diluting, measuring or decanting at the bench.

Made for commercial machines: it feeds the rinse aid dispenser on the final rinse, which is where the small reservoir in a domestic dishwasher door cannot reach.

5Lt drum for high-volume sites: one drum feeds the dispenser through plenty of cycles, so venues running the machine all shift are not refilling constantly.

Where it can be used:

  • Commercial dishwashers
  • Commercial glasswashers
  • Crockery and plates
  • Glassware
  • Cutlery

Usage Guidelines

Agar Rinse Aid is dosed by the machine, not by hand. Fill the rinse aid reservoir or drop the pick-up tube into the drum, then set the dose on the machine to the maker's recommended level.

1. Pour or draw Agar Rinse Aid straight from the 5Lt drum into the machine's rinse aid dispenser or pick-up line. It is ready to use, so do not dilute it.
2. Set the dishwasher or glasswasher to dispense rinse aid on the final rinse cycle, following the machine manufacturer's instructions.
3. Run the machine as normal. The rinse aid meters in during the final rinse and helps the water sheet off crockery, glassware and cutlery.
4. Unload once the cycle finishes. No additional rinsing is needed and items dry clear as they come out.
Check the drum level during service and top it up before it runs dry so the dispenser keeps priming.

FAQ

Q. How much Agar Rinse Aid do I use, and does it need diluting?

A. No diluting. It is ready to use and goes neat into the machine's rinse aid dispenser, which meters the dose automatically on the final rinse. Set the dose level on the dishwasher or glasswasher to the machine maker's recommended setting, then top up the drum when it runs low.

Q. My glasses still come out cloudy. Will rinse aid fix that?

A. It clears water spots and streaks by sheeting rinse water off the glass, but it will not clear permanent cloudiness. That haze is usually hard-water scale built up inside the machine, which needs descaling, or it is glass etching, which is permanent. Rinse aid stops new spotting; it cannot reverse damage already in the glass.

Q. Will rinse aid affect the head on my beer?

A. It can if the dose is too high, because leftover surfactant film on the glass is what bar staff blame for flat, thin beer head. Keep the dose at the machine's recommended level so glasses rinse clean, run beer glasses through a dedicated glasswasher where you can, and let them drain and air fully before pouring.

Q. Can I use a household rinse aid like Finish instead?

A. In a commercial machine, not really. Household rinse aids are made for the small reservoir inside a domestic dishwasher door, not for a commercial machine that draws rinse aid from a bulk container through a dispensing line. Agar Rinse Aid comes in a 5Lt drum sized to feed that line through high-volume service.

Q. Do I need to rinse the dishes again after the cycle?

A. No. The rinse aid meters in during the machine's final rinse, so nothing extra is needed once the cycle finishes. Crockery, glassware and cutlery sheet off the water and dry clear as they come out, ready to stack or set.

Q. Is rinse aid the same as detergent, and do I still need both?

A. They are different products and you need both. Detergent does the washing in the main cycle, while rinse aid goes into the final rinse only, to break the water's surface tension so it drains off fast. Run your machine detergent as usual and let the rinse aid handle the drying and spotting.
