Dishwashing
Professional Cleaning Practices
Discover the secrets of professional-grade dishwashing with Diversey Prosumer.
Dishwashing can be a tedious and time-consuming chore, especially if you’re using non-professional products or techniques. Inefficient dishwashing can lead to wasted effort, time, and money.
However, using professional-grade cleaning solutions, the right dishwashing technique, and the right tools can help you save on all three. This blog explains how.
A] Choose a Professional-Grade Dishwashing Detergent
A professional-grade dishwashing solution can make a big difference in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
If you have been using an affordable household dish soap all this while, you may be doing more harm than good for your dishes.
Why Not To Use Household Dish Soap for Professional Dishwashing?
It’s because of these 3 reasons.
- Household products are formulated for smaller and less demanding surfaces and materials. They may either not be effective or take up excess time and effort.
- The packaging and labelling of such products may be either inappropriate or incomplete. When such products are not used in a manner as intended by the manufacturer, it can either damage the washer’s skin or affect the dishes.
- Their formulation may not meet the necessary safety requirements. Using such products could lead to accidents or injuries.
In contrast, professional solutions are made with high-quality ingredients. These solutions effectively address specific challenges. At the same time, they are safe for use on varied surfaces and materials.
What to Use for Professional Dishwashing?
Opt for Sumabrite Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid Detergent 5L or Sumabrite Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid Gel 500ml for dishwashing.
Both cleaning products are scientifically designed to contain mixed actives and special ingredients to enhance the washing.
They are excellent for cleaning all stained dishes, crockery, utensils and cutlery.

- Make dishwashing highly effective, effortless and quick
- Easily eradicate stains and dirt on cutlery, crockery and utensils
- Leaves all types of kitchenware streak and scratch-free
- Don’t leave the hands dry and rough during washing utensils

- Are fully biodegradable and come with eco-friendly packaging
- Are economic for long-term use.
B] Adopt the Right Dishwashing Technique
Another important factor in efficient dishwashing is using the right technique. Follow these steps.
- Scrape excess food from the utensils and cookware into the garbage.
- Soak the utensils/cookware for about 15–30 minutes.
- Use Sumabrite Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid Gel 500ml for items, such as pots and pans that are too large to soak.
- Place the stopper in the sink. Alternatively, use a dishpan.
- Fill the sink or dishpan with hot water up to half its size.
- Add Sumabrite Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid Detergent 5L to the sink. Use Sumabrite Dishwashing Liquid Gel 500ml if your usual wash load is less.
- Consolidate the dishes in the sink or dishpan.
- Wash the cleanest items or lightest soiled utensils/cookware first.
- Use a soft sponge or scrubber to wash the dishes. Avoid scratching the surfaces of the utensils. Clean the bottom of the pans thoroughly. Any residue left at the bottom will end up blackening the pan when it would be used next for cooking.
- Wash knives one by one carefully.
- Replace the dishwashing water if it appears greasy or murky.
- If you have another sink or a dishpan, fill it with fresh water to rinse the utensils/cookware.
- Transfer the soapy items to this rinse sink or dishpan.
- Air dry the dishes by placing them upside down on a clean counter.
- Remove water spots from glassware or silverware using a microfibre cloth.
- Wash the sink, counter and/or dishpan to remove any residue.
Best Practices for Professional Dishwashing
- Scrape excess food first. This avoids polluting the wash water and wasting the dishwasher.
- Use hot water instead of tap water to wash the dishes. This helps to loosen food and grease.
- Wash the lightest soiled utensils/cookware first. This keeps the water cleaner for longer. Also, it avoids spreading food bits and grease smears in the sink or dishpan.
- Replace the rinsing water as and when needed.
- Avoid cleaning the utensils with towels. These attract germs the most.
C] Invest in the Right Dishwashing Tools
Having the right dishwashing tools can also save you time and effort.
Use high-quality sponges, brushes, and dishpans that can withstand frequent use and are easy to clean.
High-Quality Sponges:
A good quality sponge is one with a firm but not too abrasive surface. Such a sponge helps remove food particles and grease easily without scratching the surface of your dishes. Also, opt for a durable and long-lasting sponge. This reduces the need for constant replacements.
Quality Brushes:
These help to remove hard-to-remove food particles and stains from dishes, pots, and pans. A quality brush should have a sturdy handle, strong bristles, and be easy to clean.
Durable Dishpans:
Using a dishpan helps you save water. Plus, it makes the dishwashing process more efficient by allowing you to wash multiple dishes at once. Opt for a durable dishpan that can withstand frequent use and is easy to clean.
