Quash

The Quash system is a pre-wash treatment designed to remove lipstick marks and grease residue from the rim area of glassware before it enters the glass washer. This intro pack includes two one-litre bottles of Quash concentrate, four sponges, an applicator tray, and a measuring cup — everything needed to get the system running at the wash-up station.

In a busy bar or restaurant, lipstick and waxy residue on glass rims is one of the most common causes of rewashing and glass rejection. Standard glass washers, even well-maintained machines using the correct chemistry, often struggle to shift these marks reliably in a single pass. The Quash method addresses this at the source: an inverted glass is simply twisted in the solution-dampened sponge, and the mark is removed before the glass enters the wash cycle. It adds only a few seconds to the process and fits naturally into the rhythm of a working bar.

Practical benefits for the wash-up area include:

• Reduces rewashing and glass rejection during service
• Non-hazardous formula — safe for staff handling without specialist PPE
• Applicator tray sits neatly beside the wash tank without taking up significant space
• Consistent results with measured dilution using the included cup
• Used as part of daily maintenance, it can help extend the working life of glassware

There are no installation requirements — the system requires only a clean surface adjacent to the wash-up area. The concentrate should be diluted as directed and refreshed regularly, particularly during high-volume service. This is not a substitute for regular glass washing but a complementary step that improves results and reduces waste.

The intro pack is well suited to bars, hotel bars, restaurants, and cafés where glassware presentation matters and throughput is high enough to make lipstick marks a recurring issue. For higher-volume sites operating multiple wash stations, additional sponge and concentrate packs are available separately.

If you are unsure whether this fits your current wash-up setup or want to discuss glassware care more broadly, the team is happy to help.

The Quash Lipstick Remover Refill Pack is a consumable replenishment kit designed to keep the Quash glassware cleaning system running. It contains Quash concentrate solution, replacement sponges, and a measuring cup — everything needed to restock once the original kit is exhausted.

Lipstick and heavy lip balm residue is one of the more persistent problems in glassware presentation, particularly in bars, restaurants, and function venues where turnover is high and visual standards matter. Standard glasswashers remove most soiling, but waxy, pigmented stains often survive a full wash cycle and have to be dealt with by hand. The Quash system addresses this directly, and this refill pack ensures the process can continue without interruption to service.

Practical benefits for front-of-house operations include:

• Removes lipstick and waxy grease stains that survive standard glasswasher cycles
• Compatible with all common glass types used in commercial settings
• Concentrated formula — the measuring cup helps avoid wasteful over-dosing
• Replacement sponges maintain consistent application without cross-contamination
• Keeps glassware presentation standards consistent during busy service periods

This is a straightforward consumable, but it is worth confirming compatibility with the original Quash kit before ordering if the starter kit was purchased some time ago. The concentrate should be stored appropriately and kept away from other cleaning chemicals.

Well suited to bars, hotels, event caterers, and any venue where lipstick staining on glassware is a recurring issue. If you go through glassware at significant volume, it is worth keeping a spare refill pack in stock rather than waiting until the current supply runs out mid-service.

If you have any questions about quantities or how the Quash system fits into your current glassware cleaning routine, the team is happy to help.
