If you own a pub or run a restaurant of cafe, you may be wondering why you should invest in a glass washer. After all, dishwashers are able to handle glasses too, and a lot more cutlery and kitchen utensils as well. It is a good question, but there are a few good reasons for using an industrial glass washer over a dishwasher – they clean glasses much better, they are kinder on your glassware, and they have a much faster wash cycle. These may seem like small advantages, but if you buy one then you will see that using a commercial glass washer also ends up being a lot cheaper to run in the long term. Here are the advantages in more detail:
Better on your glassware: A dishwasher is overkill for cleaning glasses. With their requirement to wash large pots and pans as well as smaller kitchen items, glasses will often be overexposed to the high temperatures, resulting in the glass wearing away over time. A glass washer, on the other hand, uses weaker detergent and the wash cycle is relatively short resulting in little to no damage to your glassware.
Better results: A dishwasher will frequently leave white streak marks on glass. These marks are the result of the strong detergent used – not a good way to impress customers! A glass washer will leave no marks at all, giving all glassware a fantastic sparkle.
Fast: Some industrial glass washers can clean up to 400 glasses in one hour, saving lots of time for your staff to tend to other things.
Less expensive: An industrial glass washer will cost a lot less to buy than other cleaning appliances. If you have enough space for one, it will pay for itself in the amount of time saved too.
Many restaurateurs are unaware of the potential advantages of investing in a glass washer, often overlooking them in favour of dishwashers, thinking that they are saving money. In fact, the opposite is quite true, with a commercial glass washer saving both time and money! When you realize this, and also realize the additional advantages owning one offers, you can begin to see why the most successful businesses in the catering industry invest in a glass washer.
