Why this rinse aid earns its place
Detergent alone doesn't finish the job in a commercial warewasher – it's the rinse aid that clears the detergent residue itself and rinses away the last of the broken-down food soil, which is exactly what Winterhalter B1N is built to do. It's a neutral rinse aid rated for all types of glassware, crockery, cutlery and cookware, so it's not a specialist product limited to one material.
Its odourless formula is a deliberate choice: cutting through detergent residue and rinsing off food soil without adding any scent of its own, so nothing lingers on plates or glasses that then transfers to food or drink. The result Winterhalter is aiming for, and delivers, is a brilliant, streak-free finish – the visible difference a rinse aid makes over detergent alone.
It's rated for glass, plastic, porcelain and stainless steel as well as cutlery and utensils, and – notably – it's also suitable for silver and aluminium items, which not every rinse aid or detergent in this range can claim. For best results, Winterhalter recommends running it as part of the matched system: the corresponding warewasher, chemistry and water treatment working together rather than mixed with other brands. It comes as an unperfumed, blue liquid in a 10 litre pack, and carries no corrosive, irritant or flammable hazard classification.
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.
