Nu-Foam Liquid Detergent for Bar Glassware – Original Streak-Free Solution - Hand Washing Bar, Tavern, Brewery Supplies - Concentrated - 1 Gallon

After years of using Nu-foam powder, I found this liquid version and liked the idea of liquid over powder, which can be messy. We use this at our bar for hand washing all our glassware with excellent results. You get a gallon and it’s super concentrated so a little goes a long way. One drawback I found is the 1 gallon size is cumbersome and difficult to maneuver and get accurate amount into the sink. That addition of a pump would be a nice touch. There is a note on the back of the container stating a dispenser pump, which will deliver 1 ounce with each pump is available from your supplier at a small additional charge. I did not see the option of adding it to my purchase, but we did find a work around. Helpful hint: to make adding it to the sink easier, we refill an old liquid dish soap bottle with Nu Foam and add a squeeze or two as needed.

One use and I was hooked. It cleaned the glasses with a squeaky streak sound just like I like it. Superb

After hosting a few backyard gatherings, washing all the beer glasses and cocktail cups became a bigger job than expected. This Nu Foam liquid detergent has been doing a reliable job keeping our bar glassware clear and streak free. It cuts through grease and lipstick marks without needing a lot of scrubbing, which saves time at the sink. The glasses dry looking noticeably cleaner, and drinks even seem to pour better without leftover residue clinging to the sides. A little goes a long way since it’s concentrated, so one bottle lasts quite a while. It’s also gentler on my hands compared to some harsh dish soaps, which makes a difference when washing a full rack of glasses. One downside is that it’s really designed specifically for glassware, so it’s not as versatile as a regular dish detergent for everyday plates and pans. The large container can feel a bit bulky to store under a small sink, but that’s manageable. Overall, it’s a dependable option for anyone who wants their bar glasses to look polished and professional at home. Four stars from me for performance and value.

Good soap for the bar

Good quality. Bulk purchase on a hard to find item.

I was hoping this would work to reduce etching that some of my glassware has suffered after many years of going through the dishwasher, and while this didn't work super well for that, it does give the glassware a much better shine than just a typical trip through the dishwasher. I'm using this for general home-use and the gallon jug will probably last me a literal lifetime. This stuff does what it claims to quite well and is really pretty cheap considering how much you get. It's also very simple to use - just add a tiny bit to a couple gallons of water and off you go towards nice shiny glasses.

I had tried this with glassware, just normal glasses with remnants of drinks, and initially hadn't noticed anything special. I decided to try it on a plastic bowl that I had washed 3 times with normal dish detergent, but it still had an oily feel to it, and when filled with water would have an oil sheen on the surface. Putting a little water in the bowl, there was an oil sheen on the surface that almost disappeared when I put a single drop of Nu-Foam in it. I used the same brush as before and noticed right away that it suds up 2 or 3 times more than the detergent I had used previously. I used the brush the same way as before and gave it a rinse. Any trace of oil was gone, the plastic had lost its slippery feel, and there was no trace of oil film in the water. I would estimate that I used 10 times more detergent over 3 washes that were ineffective, while one drop of Nu-foam did the job. It works great, saving you time and money. As soon as we finish using up the old soap, we will be switching to Nu-foam for all our hand washing.

The two one-gallon jugs of “Liquid Detergent for Hand Washing Bar Glassware” arrived with child-proof caps (nice) with silver seals underneath, but both seals were partially open. Unfortunately, ingredients aren’t listed and a pump isn’t included. The orange liquid was unscented to my nose, which I appreciated. The directions say to add this liquid into the sink first (we use a plastic bin in the sink), and to let the water run over it “with force”. One ounce is used with three gallons of “hot or cold water”, which surprised me (I used warm because I was brought up to always use the hottest water possible, which is why I always wear kitchen gloves), so it’s concentrated. A lot of white suds were created. Hand washing glassware has always been my preference, but I’ve never used a separate product. This liquid quickly and easily cleaned our various glassware (tumblers, wine glasses, beer mugs, borosilicate coffee mugs, etc.). It removed various lipsticks, lip oils, lip tints, and dried coffee remnants, and all our glassware air dried without streaks. I wore lined kitchen gloves like I always do, so I can’t comment on how easy this liquid is on the hands. This liquid detergent did a great job cleaning our household glassware, but I don’t think it made a noticeable difference, when compared to our usual dishwashing soap, to make having an extra product worth it unless you’re using this somewhere where a lot of glassware is being washed regularly.
