I believe everyone knows what dishwashing liquid is, and many people should have used dishwashing liquid to wash dishes. Do you know that both domestic and commercial dishwashers must use special detergents instead of traditional dishwashing liquids? Why can't dishwashers use dishwashing liquid? Let SHINELONG editor explain it today. The main reasons why dishwashers are not recommended to use dishwashing liquid are as follows: Too much foam: The original intention of dishwashing liquid was to produce rich foam to help remove dirt during manual washing. However, the dishwasher uses a water pump to pump up the liquid at the bottom, and then adds detergent to spray into the dishes. The foam produced by these dishwashing liquids may not be effectively rinsed off, and the rich foam may remain on the surface of the tableware, thereby remaining in the tableware and inside the dishwasher. The residual foam may not only cause the tableware to be not cleaned thoroughly, but may also cause blockage or damage to the filter screen, spray arm and other parts of the dishwasher, or even irreversible damage. Insufficient decontamination ability: The decontamination ingredients of dishwashing liquid are different from those of special dishwasher detergents. Dishwashers need efficient and quickly decomposable detergents to deal with a large number of dishes and stubborn stains. Dishwashing liquid uses saponification reaction to dissolve oil and dirt in water and then uses foam to scrub and remove them. The cleaning ability and efficiency are far inferior to special detergents. Affecting the operation of the dishwasher: Dishwashing liquid may produce a large amount of foam in the dishwasher, which may affect the normal operation of the dishwasher, such as clogging pipes and affecting the operation of water pumps and other components. Damage to dishwasher parts: Long-term use of dishwashing liquid may damage or clog dishwasher parts, such as filters, spray arms, etc., thereby shortening the service life of the dishwasher. Can the detergents for household dishwashers and commercial dishwashers be mixed? No, the different usage scenarios of the two dishwashers will lead to different detergent formulas. Commercial dishwashers have more stringent requirements for cleaning ability and cleaning efficiency, so the detergents will have stronger cleaning ability, which is a standard that household dishwasher detergents cannot reach at all. The above is why it is not recommended to use dishwashing liquid in dishwashers. In order to ensure the normal operation of the dishwasher and extend its service life, it is recommended to use detergents designed specifically for dishwashers. These detergents are specially designed and optimized to ensure effective stain removal in dishwashers without causing damage to the dishwasher.
