Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender House Hotel in Harrogate was struggling to keep their extensive collection of fine bone china free from tannin stains, which was impacting the guest experience during their popular afternoon tea service. They needed a solution that was tough on stains but safe for their valuable crockery.

"Our teacups were starting to look permanently discoloured, which isn't the standard we aim for. Since switching to the OSMOS CU593, they look as good as new after every single wash. It's lifted years of staining."

Michael Edwards – General Manager

The switch completely eliminated the need for manual pre-scrubbing of over 200 cups and  saucers daily, saving the kitchen porter team an estimated 5 hours of labour per week.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Correct Usage

  • Ensure your dishwasher is equipped with an automatic dosing system for liquid detergents.
  • Connect the dosing tube from your machine directly into the OSMOS container.
  • Always consult your dishwasher's manual to set the correct dosage level for optimal results.
  • Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves and  eye protection, when handling and  changing containers.

Storage & Care

  • Store the container upright in a cool, dry, and  well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap securely fastened when not in use to prevent spills or evaporation.
  • Regularly check that the dosing tube is clear of any blockages or kinks to ensure consistent delivery.
  • Plan your stock, as this is a non-returnable item due to hazardous goods regulations.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Dishwasher Chemical

Not sure which chemical best fits your kitchen's needs? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Factor in Water Hardness

Check your local water type. If you're in a hard water area, a detergent with built-in scale prevention like this one is essential to protect your machine.

Know What You're Washing

Identify your most common tableware. This detergent is a champion for ceramics and  stainless steel, but you'll need a different solution for silverware and  polycarbonate plastics.

Concentration vs. Cost

A highly concentrated formula like this 20L dishwasher detergent for catering may seem more expensive upfront, but it is far more economical per wash, saving you money in the long run.

Target Specific Problems

If you serve a lot of tea and  coffee, a detergent with a dedicated tannin remover is a non-negotiable for keeping cups and  mugs looking their best.

Check Machine Compatibility

Ensure the chemical is designed for an automatic dosing system, which is standard on most commercial dishwashers, for safe and  efficient use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this detergent safe for all types of dishes?

A: No, it is a specialist cleaner. It's perfect for ceramic, porcelain, and  stainless steel, but should not be used on silverware or polycarbonate items.

Q: What exactly are tannin stains?

A: They're the stubborn, brownish stains left inside cups and  pots by tea and  coffee, which standard detergents often struggle to remove.

Q: Can I use this in my commercial glasswasher?

A: You can, but you must first confirm what your glasses are made of. It is not suitable for polycarbonate glassware, which can be damaged by its formula.

Q: Do I still need to use a rinse aid with this detergent?

A: Yes, we always recommend using a compatible rinse aid. This ensures fast, spot-free drying and  the best possible finish on your tableware.

Q: What does 'highly concentrated' mean for my business?

A: It means you use a smaller amount of liquid for each wash cycle. This makes every 20-litre container last much longer, significantly reducing your cost-per-wash.

Q: Will this product really help my dishwasher last longer?

A: Absolutely. Its anti-scaling agents prevent damaging limescale from building up on vital parts like heating elements, which protects the machine and  can extend its operational life.

Q: Can I use this for washing dishes by hand in the sink?

A: No, this is a powerful commercial machine dishwashing liquid formulated specifically for use with automatic dosing systems in dishwashers. It is not suitable for manual washing.

Q: How effective is it at low wash temperatures?

A: It is formulated to be highly effective even at lower temperatures, allowing you to run eco-cycles that can help reduce your kitchen's energy consumption and  costs.

How Limescale Prevention Protects Your Investment

Ever noticed that chalky white build-up inside a kettle? That's limescale, and  it's caused by high mineral content in 'hard water', a common issue across much of the UK. The exact same thing happens inside your commercial dishwasher, coating heating elements and  clogging pipes. This forces the machine to work harder, use more energy, and  eventually leads to expensive breakdowns.

Think of the scale-prevention ingredients in this OSMOS CU593 tannin remover as a bodyguard for your machine's internal parts. As the water comes in, these agents neutralise the minerals that cause limescale, stopping them from ever sticking to surfaces. It’s like having a water softener built right into your detergent. This simple feature keeps your machine running efficiently, saves on energy and  repair bills, and  ensures your investment is protected for the long haul.
