Hi I was given a few of these. Still in clear overwrap. Do any of you know anything about this stuff? I'm assuming it can NOT be used in a home dishwasher? Thank You. .Cheryl

I have used it in a very busy restaurant and it not only cleaned the dishes very well but kept the dishwasher tank clean too. It really has to be used with it's designed Ecolab dispenser/controller for proper dosing and concentration based on the soil level and water conditions in the dishmachine's wash tank. AKA; lazy operator who doesn't pre rinse well and or change the dishmachine water as often as he should.
If you could find a way to SAFELY break up these blocks, small doses would work ok in a home DW but it is not Ideal for that purpose. WK78 |

In order to obtain optimal performance you'd need the dosage/dilution ratios.
Good luck with that because Ecolab will *NOT* divulge such information to non-authorized persons. This most certainly includes domestic users who manage to get their mitts on their products. Being as this may was given a stash of Ecolab Solid Metal Pro (posted about it in a thread here several weeks ago), and it works well for cleaning pots/pans and other metal ware. Have also used it as a laundry "break" and or part of a "reclaim" procedure. Without the proper dispenser your likely only other remedy is to get a mallet or something similar and break off bits of block. Taking such bits then making them smaller and or grinding down into a powder. You *could* try simply adding broken off bits/clumps to your dishwasher and then checking towards end of wash cycle if everything has dissolved. These Ecolab "solid" products aren't like consumer tablet dish or laundry detergent products. Those are meant to dissolve instantly upon contact with water. Ecolab solid products are meant to dissolve slowly as water passes over at a certain force/speed to provide proper dilution ratio. If the blocks dissolved too fast it would cause waste among other issues. Depending upon how game you are to use these things, search eBay for the proper dispenser. Sometimes things can be had for very little money. But then you'll still need dilution ratios and or a way to dispense into your machine. |
