POOR WASH RESULTScontinued

C.WHITE
CLOUDY FILM ON GLASSWARE
( That cannot be washed of ). |
| |
This
is a Surface deposit known as 'Silica Scum' or 'Detergent Scum' which can
sometimes form by precipitation of one of the components of dishwasher
detergents. The film can be scratched off with the tip of a needle (unlike
etching). Unfortunately it can only be effectively removed under laboratory
conditions. |
| |
However,
the following will prevent or slow down the deposits: |
| 1. |
Use less
detergent where possible i.e.. When washing medium to lightly soiled items. |
| 2. |
Do not
use poor quality detergent. |
| 3. |
Make
sure that the rinse aid setting is correct . Lack of rinse aid could accentuate
the problem. |
| 4. |
Use a
liquid rather than powder detergent (for dishwashers) particularly if glassware
is constantly being washed. |
| 5. |
Take
care not to overload machine. |
| 6. |
Avoid
washing poor quality glassware if possible. |
| 7. |
Check
the Salt Regeneration setting is correct for the water supply. |
| 8. |
Check
that the machine is filling correctly. |
| 9. |
Check
that the machine is rinsing correctly. |
| 10. |
Check
that the softener by-pass is working correctly. |
| 11. |
If the
dishwasher has programmes of less than 65c use these in preference to 65c
programmes when washing dishes. |
