Ultra Pre-Soak - Dishware & Commercial Cutlery Pre-Soak

Concentrated Chlorinated Liquid Pre-Soak for Food Service Utensils & Dishware

Ultra Pre-Soak is a heavy-duty commercial liquid pre-soak formulated with active chlorinated destaining agents, alkaline builders, and penetrating surfactants. Engineered specifically for high-volume commercial kitchens, restaurants, and institutional food service operations, it rapidly softens caked-on food soils, baked-on starches, and heavy grease from stainless steel flatware and ceramic dishware prior to mechanical washing.

By penetrating and lifting soils before items enter the dish machine, Ultra Pre-Soak drastically reduces the need for rewashes and lowers overall chemical, water, and labor costs. Its specialized chlorinated formula effortlessly strips stubborn coffee, tea, and wine tannin stains from china and mugs while preventing protein-based discoloration on stainless steel cutlery.

FAQ

Can Ultra Pre-Soak be used saely on stainless steel cutlery without causing pitting or darkening?

Yes. Ultra Pre-Soak is specifically buffered to control protein-induced discoloration on stainless steel flatware. However, like all chlorinated products, cutlery should not be left submerged for extended multi-day periods. Soaking items for 10–30 minutes before running them through the dishwasher provides optimal cleaning while protecting metal integrity.

How does Ultra Pre-Soak help reduce dish machine chemical consumption?

By loosening baked-on starches, heavy proteins, and burnt-on food in the pre-soak tub, the primary dishwasher detergent doesn’t have to do all the heavy lifting. This prevents dishware from needing a second pass through the machine, saving wash water, electricity, and dish machine detergent.
