For commercial dishwashers

Stop paying your team to polish silverware.

Place two sticks in the wash rack. The rust stays on the sticks, not on your flatware. Your team polishes less – or not at all.

The polishing cloth costs you time, money and nerves – every day.

In almost every professional kitchen, someone stands at the end of the dish line polishing – because spots on flatware would otherwise end up in front of the guest. It has become so normal that hardly anyone questions it.

Paid time no guest ever notices

When everything is right, the guest sees nothing. It still cost you working hours every day – hours your team could spend on something else.

The rust spot at the wrong moment

A spot on the flatware catches the guest's eye instantly. And guests judge the whole kitchen by the cutlery in their hand.

Double work at the busiest moment

Pieces with spots go back through the machine or get reworked by hand – exactly when every minute counts during service.

Flatware that has to be replaced sooner

Where rust takes hold, flatware gets pulled sooner. You don't notice it all at once – you see it month after month in your costs.

The problem isn't your flatware and it isn't your team. Rust particles from pipes and machines settle with every wash cycle. As long as they are in the water, they keep coming back. Polishing only fights the result, not the cause.
The solution

Rust Guard Pro takes rust off the target list.

Two sticks in the wash rack capture rust particles before they settle on your flatware. The same principle as in over 12 million household units – now for professional kitchens, with two magnets per stick.

1 · They protect your flatware

Aluminum is less noble than stainless steel. In the wash water it gives up electrons first and so protects the flatware. The same principle as the anode rod in a water heater – for the entire wash load.

2 · They catch the rust

Two neodymium magnets per stick attract iron-based rust particles. They stay on the sticks, not on your flatware. Dark discoloration on the sticks is normal – it shows they're working.

Polishing? Hardly any.

Cafe Hansen hasn't had to polish its flatware for 7 years. In the Iberostar test in Fuerteventura, the kitchen said its glasses were “immediately free of limescale streaks and spots”.

Flatware without rust spots

In the Fraunhofer comparison test, flatware with Rust Guard showed less corrosion in every single measurement. At Cafe Hansen even the stainless steel interior of the machine looked better.

Drop it in and done

No installation, no dosing unit, no training. The sticks sit loosely in the wash rack. Cycle, temperature and detergent stay exactly as they are.

No chemicals

Just aluminum and magnets. Food-contact safety confirmed (Fraunhofer IFAM). Used sticks are recycled.

We take care of it

One box per machine per month, returned with a prepaid label. Nothing to reorder, nothing to dispose of.

Test first, then decide

How strong the effect is depends on your machine and water. That's why you test it free in your own kitchen before you buy anything.

Usage

Drop in. Wash. Done.

No training, no changeover. Anyone in the kitchen can do it after being shown once.

Open a pack

One pack of 2 sticks per machine per week. The monthly box holds 4 weekly packs.

Place in the rack

Place both sticks in the wash rack with your flatware and dishes. Not in the tank, no mounting.

Wash as usual

Nothing to adjust. Cycle, temperature and detergent stay the same.

Swap weekly

After a week, take a new pack and put the old sticks in the return bag. The box goes back with a prepaid label.

Please note: Not for carbon-steel knives, cast iron or other items that are not dishwasher-safe. Rust Guard Pro protects flatware – it does not make non-dishwasher-safe items dishwasher-safe.

How we calculate

Example calculation based on your inputs, not a guarantee. How much polishing actually goes away depends on machine, water and wash load. We check this together in the free test.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it really work?

The Fraunhofer Institute IFAM confirmed the mechanism in the lab: flatware with Rust Guard showed less corrosion in every single measurement. On top of that come 7 years of field use at Cafe Hansen and the ongoing test in Fuerteventura.

Do I need to change anything?

No. The sticks sit loosely in the wash rack with the load. No installation, no dosing, no change to cycle or temperature.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Then you'll see it in the test, and it didn't cost you anything. The sample kit is free with no obligation to buy.

What does it cost?

Billed per machine per month, tiered by number of machines. We quote individually – get in touch.

How long does a pack last?

It depends on wash volume. We plan with one weekly pack (2 sticks) per machine and adjust it together during the pilot.

Does it add chemicals to the water?

No. The sticks are made of aluminum and magnets. Food-contact safety has been confirmed (Fraunhofer IFAM).

Why do the sticks change color?

Gray, white or dark are normal reaction products of aluminum, limescale and collected rust particles. It is not a defect – it shows the sticks are working.

What happens to used sticks?

They go back in the same box with a prepaid label and are recycled as pure aluminum.

Does it also help with glasses and limescale?

First test venues report limescale-free glasses without polishing; in other kitchens we saw no change there. What is proven is the effect against rust particles on flatware and metal. Whether it helps with glasses in your machine, we check together in the free test.
