How to remove scale from commercial dishwashers

Removing scale is a necessary step in the daily maintenance of commercial dishwashers, but when it comes to how to remove scale, many people don’t know. So how to remove scale from commercial dishwashers? Preparation Turn off the power: Make sure the dishwasher is turned off and disconnect the power to ensure safety. Empty the dishwasher: Drain and clean the dishes and garbage in the dishwasher to avoid damage or blockage during the cleaning process. Use a special descaling agent. Purchase descaling agent: For daily cleaning, you can buy common food-grade descaling agents on the market. If the scale of the dishwasher is particularly serious, you can use oxalic acid. Read the instructions: Refer to the instructions of the descaling agent to understand the correct dosage and usage. Pour the descaling agent: Pour an appropriate amount of commercial dishwasher descaling agent into the main washing tank of the dishwasher. Note that descaling agents usually contain acidic ingredients, so be sure to follow the instructions to avoid too high or too low concentrations. Run the dishwasher: Turn on the power of the commercial dishwasher and start normal cleaning. If the scale is heavy, you can repeat it. If there is a designated dishwasher descaling and cleaning mode, you can also start the designated cleaning mode. Rinse and drain Turn off the dishwasher: Wait for the cleaning program to complete and turn off the power of the dishwasher. Drain: Drain the water in the dishwasher and ensure that the descaling agent and dissolved scale are completely discharged. Refill and run: After refilling, run the dishwasher again for about 15 minutes to thoroughly rinse the inside of the dishwasher and ensure that there is no residual descaling agent. Restore and check Restore settings: Return the detergent and rinse agent suction pipes to their original positions to ensure that the dishwasher can be used normally. Check the effect: Open the dishwasher door and check whether there is any residual scale or descaling agent inside. If necessary, you can repeat the above cleaning process. Daily maintenance Regular cleaning: It is recommended to clean the dishwasher every six months, and it can be shortened to once every 3 months in areas with poor water quality. Use soft water: Install a water softener or water purifier at the water inlet pipe of the dishwasher to reduce the hardness of the water and improve the water quality, reducing the formation of scale. Note: Do not use white vinegar and baking soda for cleaning. These two methods are often recommended on the Internet, but in fact, the effect of these methods is not good, and the effect of removing scale is poor. In addition, since commercial dishwashers have a large cleaning volume, the complexity of cleaning stains is higher than that of home kitchens. Therefore, it is recommended to buy common food-grade descaling agents on the market, which are more effective and cheaper. If the scale is heavy, you can use oxalic acid for cleaning, but please note that unless the scale is particularly heavy and the descaling agent is difficult to remove, it is not recommended for daily cleaning. The above are the methods for descaling commercial dishwashers.
