Why this one earns its place
Aluminium and stainless steel take a beating in a commercial dishwasher – the wrong detergent chemistry can dull, pit or discolour them over repeated cycles, and replacing pans and cutlery ahead of schedule is a cost most kitchens would rather avoid. Suma Alu L10 is formulated to cleanse and sanitise aluminium and stainless steel utensils and cutlery specifically, restoring them to a presentable finish wash after wash.
It’s rated to perform best in medium to hard water conditions, so kitchens in harder-water regions aren’t fighting the detergent as well as the dishwasher. The 5 litre bottle is transparent, letting staff see stock levels at a glance rather than lifting or shaking the container to guess how much is left – a small detail that saves time when reordering.
As a concentrate, dosing is designed for use through a dishwasher’s chemical dosing system rather than by hand, and it’s classed as corrosive, so gloves should be worn when handling it directly, particularly around drains during disposal or refilling.
For any kitchen running aluminium or stainless steel service ware through a commercial dishwasher, this is the detergent that protects the equipment as well as cleans it.

COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
Guidance summary only — the product label, the current safety data sheet and your own COSHH assessment remain the authority.
