We will find out what professional dishwasher products are on sale and what are their features.

Features of professional chemistry

Features:

• Professional detergents (PMS) are usually sold in large plastic canisters of 5 liters. Their average cost is $15. e.
• The liquid in canisters is concentrated, it is diluted before use. After dilution from 5 liters of concentrate, 12-15 liters of ordinary dishwashing gel are obtained.
• Not all PMS are suitable for use in household dishwashers. If they are made on the basis of acids, they will cause irreparable harm to home machines. After several applications, nothing bad will happen to the dishwasher (PMM), but if the pro concentrates are used regularly, the device will be damaged.
• Some liquid PMS produce a lot of foam, which negatively affects household appliances. The foaming mass is poorly washed off the dishes, and if it gets into the control module, it can damage it.
• Pro concentrates may contain toxic compounds that clean dishes very effectively. It is not recommended to use them at home – the quality of washing in professional and household PMMs is different. In the first, toxic substances will be 100% washed off the surface of the dishes, and in the second, the quality of the wash will be lower.
