Tips and tricks for using glass polishers.

The shortage of hotel labor only worsened with the pandemic, forcing businesses to reduce operating hours and services or risk damaging the guest experience. Glass polishers reduce working time so hoteliers can allocate their staff more cost-effectively.

 Glass polishing machines are five times faster than manual polishing. This is one of the great advantages that makes them ideal for high-volume polishing of glassware in hotels, event venues, restaurants, catering companies, casinos, and glassware rental companies.

These hospitality machines gently polish and dry wet glassware inside and out, simultaneously in seconds. Faster than hand polishing, a single employee with the machine can dry and polish 250 to 500 pieces of glassware per hour, depending on the model.

How to get the best results with the glass polisher

Glass polishers are designed to save labor hours, virtually eliminate glass breakage and associated injuries, and ensure your customers receive a professionally finished and hygienic service.

Below are some tips and tricks to help you achieve perfect results with glass polishers every time.

Used correctly, the polishing machine will produce sparkling glasses in seconds.

Once you have read the user manual and installed the four largest brushes on the outer stems, you should place the smallest brush in the middle.

Start the polisher approximately 5 to 10 minutes before use and let it run for 5 to 10 minutes after use. This will ensure that the fiber brushes are warm and dry.

Glassware must be properly washed and clean. The machine is designed for polishing, not cleaning. Dry glasses take longer to polish. Slightly damp glasses will save time and yield better results. The hot air fan will keep the brushes dry throughout the process.

The items to be dried should be gently placed on the central brush. Move the glass or cup up and down several times until you can see that it is perfectly dry and polished. You should never let go of the item.

Water and stains will be removed, leaving each piece transparent and ready for service.

Some important points to keep in mind:

Glass polishers polish glassware but do not clean dirt, detergent residue, grease, or lipstick. Glassware must be completely clean.

Contact of hands with the fiber brushes should be avoided. Hand oils will be absorbed and can cause poor results.

If the items to be dried are very wet, place them on one of the fiber brushes near the fan to remove excess water and then proceed with polishing as usual.

Washing the fiber brushes regularly will yield better results. Use only neutral detergent and wash them by hand. Never use products like bleach. Make sure they are well rinsed and let them dry.
