Why this one earns its place
This is Suma LA6’s two-in-one detergent and rinse aid formula supplied as a pair of 5-litre containers rather than one large drum – the same combined wash-and-dry action, cutting through grease and dried-on food while eliminating the need for a separate rinse aid product.
The rinse aid element is built to deliver rapid drying and a streak and spot-free finish on glassware and crockery straight out of the machine, and like the larger format it prevents scaling in the machine even in demanding water conditions up to 12°dH, 21°fH or 215ppm – protecting jets and heating elements from limescale over time.
Splitting the same volume across two smaller containers makes it easier to lift, decant and dose without wrestling a heavy drum, and gives you a spare container in reserve rather than being down to nothing the moment one runs dry. It’s NTA-free and, being a hazardous corrosive concentrate, is restricted to professional trade users only, with age verification required at order and delivery.
Each pack totals 5 litres across two containers, weighing 5kg, sized for kitchens that want the LA6 formula without committing to a 20-litre drum.

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.

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.
