Cleaning Glassware with Acid Rinse

Q. I use a Miele glass wash machine and currently use Alcojet. I am wondering if I need to use a two step wash with an acid rinse to be sure the glass is residue free. What detergents would you recommend for either a one or two step cleaning process?
A. Alcojet detergent is free-rinsing, meaning it rinses completely away with water and without rinse aids. There are no softeners, brighteners, fragrances or other residues that are not involved with the specific action of aqueous cleaning. Having said that, we know of many applications that do still involve an acid rinse/wash.

Food Contact Surface Cleaners

Washing Temperature for Alcojet

Q. What is the lowest recommended washing temperature for Alcojet to guarantee full dissolving?

A. Alcojet can dissolve at ambient temperatures, but Alcojet dissolves faster in hot water. The recommended concentration of 1% Alcojet (10 g/L or 1.25 oz/gal) will dissolve within 10 minutes at 20 deg C when dosed in a dispersing manner that does not allow the Alcojet to clump together when dosed in water to form hydrated cements that are very slow dissolving.
