  • Handling: As a concentrate, it's vital staff are trained on correct handling and  PPE.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Arms, a busy traditional pub in Canterbury, was struggling with their old detergent. It left a film on their glasses which was affecting the quality of their cask ales and  leading to customer complaints about 'flat' pints.

"The difference was immediate. We switched to Bactosol CD519 and  the glasses came out looking like new. The lipstick stains vanish, and  more importantly, our beer looks fantastic again. The regulars noticed straight away."

Robert Green – Publican

The change resulted in a 95% reduction in glass re-washes and  completely eliminated complaints regarding beer presentation, boosting staff morale and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves and  eye protection) when handling the concentrate.
  • For automatic dosing machines, safely unscrew the cap and  place the machine's intake hose into the container.
  • For manual dosing, carefully measure the required amount (e.g., 2.5-3.5ml per litre of water) into the machine's wash tank.
  • Run an empty test cycle to ensure the detergent is dispensing correctly before loading with glasses.

Keeping It Going

  • Store containers in a cool, dry, and  secure location away from foodstuffs.
  • Keep the cap securely fastened when not in use to prevent spills and  maintain potency.
  • Regularly check the level of your auto-dosing container to avoid running out mid-service.
  • Ensure all staff are briefed on the correct, safe handling procedures for this professional chemical.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glass Wash Detergent

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick guide to picking the perfect detergent for your needs.

Purpose is Key

If you're a pub, 'beer head retention' is a non-negotiable feature. For restaurants, a streak-free shine on wine glasses is paramount. Identify your top priority.

Check the Dilution

Don't just look at the ticket price. A highly concentrated detergent like this one offers a much lower cost-per-use, saving you significant money over time.

Water Hardness Matters

In hard water areas, limescale can be an issue. This detergent is formulated to prevent clouding, making it a great choice for most UK locations.

Machine Compatibility

Ensure the detergent works with your setup. Bactosol CD519 is versatile, suiting both automatic dosing systems and  manual fill machines.

Safety First

Always opt for professional, food-safe, and  non-tainting formulas to protect your customers and  the quality of your drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this detergent safe to use on all types of glassware?

A: Yes, Bactosol CD519 is formulated to be safe for use on all standard commercial glassware, preventing corrosion and  clouding.

Q: Will it leave a chemical taste on the glasses?

A: Absolutely not. It's a non-tainting formula, meaning it rinses away completely, leaving no residue or taste.

Q: How effective is it on tough stains like lipstick?

A: It's highly effective. The powerful formula is designed to break down and  lift stubborn grease, oils, and  lipstick marks during the wash cycle.

Q: What does 'protects beer head retention' actually mean?

A: It means the detergent leaves no invisible residue that can cause the carbonation (bubbles) in beer to dissipate, which would make a pint go 'flat' quickly.

A: Yes, it's perfect for both manual dosing and  machines with automatic pumps.

Q: How much should I use for a manual dose?

A: The recommended dilution is between 1:300 and  1:400, which is roughly 2.5ml to 3.5ml of detergent for every litre of water in your machine's tank.

Q: Is this a detergent and  a rinse aid in one?

A: This is a dedicated detergent. For best results, including rapid drying and  an extra sparkle, we recommend using it with a compatible rinse aid.

Q: Is the packaging recyclable?

A: Yes, the plastic containers are widely recyclable. The concentrated formula also means you use fewer containers overall, which is better for the environment.

How a High Dilution Ratio Saves You Money

Ever feel like you're constantly re-ordering cleaning supplies? The 'Dilution Ratio' is the key to stopping that. Bactosol's ratio of up to 1:400 is industry-leading and  it's simpler than it sounds. Think of it like a super-concentrated cordial. For every 1 part of detergent, you add 400 parts of water.

This means a single 5-litre container of Bactosol CD519 can create up to a massive 2,000 litres of effective cleaning solution. This dramatically lowers your 'cost-per-wash', so you're not just buying a container of detergent, you're buying thousands of sparkling clean glasses. It's a smarter, more efficient way to manage your stock and  your budget, while also reducing the number of plastic containers you use each year.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: To serve the perfect, frothy-headed pint every time without residue spoiling the presentation.
  • Restaurants & Hotels: For consistently sparkling wine glasses and  tumblers that enhance the dining experience.
  • Event Venues & Caterers: A reliable solution for fast-paced events, ensuring a rapid turnaround of pristine glassware.
  • Cafes & Bistros: Keep your lattes, water glasses, and  juice tumblers crystal clear and  free from any aftertaste.
