If you manage a restaurant or bar, you know keeping glassware clean is of vital importance. Missing a single spot could seriously anger a client and cause further issues. Even if the glassware is always clean, the process of washing and drying could be cost and time inefficient. One minute there might be a single dish; the next one there could be dozens. Being able to quickly go through them while maintaining high hygiene standards could be hard at times.
The use of heavy-duty detergent or sanitizing tablets could greatly speed up the process. Other great methods for bar glass washing also exist. This blog from Glissen Chemical Company will talk about some cool tips you could use to efficiently clean bar glass with a commercial dishwasher.
Bar Glass Washing Tips
- Always use gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. After the bar glass washing is ready, the dishes or cups should be 100 percent clear and sparkling. If any fingerprints remain on them, it beats the purpose of cleaning in the first place.
- While it would be great to clean everything at once, there must be enough place in the dishwasher for water. If there is not enough water between every glass item, the effects of sanitizing tablets and detergents will be smaller.
- Maintenance on a regular basis is important. Keep the dishwasher or other devices clean and working by washing the lines and polishing the surfaces often.
- Often check the dishwasher’s seals and ensure everything is stable. If a seal falls off or there is physical damage to the engine, you risk encountering leaks during high capacity cleaning.
- Before cleaning anything, remove any leftovers. Throw them away in the trash, do not let the washer deal with them. There is a risk the lines might clog and stop working efficiently or at all. Leftovers might sometimes persist after bar glass washing which is annoying.
- Clean glass items as soon as you can. Letting the dishes or cups stay dirty during the night will make them harder to polish. The sooner you do them, the easier it will be.
