A flat plate, a bowl, a teacup, a saji, to which the food residue containing components such as protein, oil, starch, etc. adheres as described above,
When you wash dishes such as spoons and chopsticks, you can remove protein stains and oil stains by first washing with a low-temperature washing solution, and washing with this low-temperature washing solution removes stains such as rice grains and lipstick. By having a pretreatment effect and a dipping effect, and by successively washing with a high-temperature washing solution, it is possible to avoid the problem of protein coagulation and sufficiently remove stains such as rice grains and lipstick. Washing with this high-temperature washing solution has a sterilizing effect. In addition, since strongly acidic water has a bacteriostatic action, while dishes and the like are kept more clean,
Generation of offensive odor due to food residue in the dishwasher itself is suppressed. Even if the dishes are considerably soiled, the dishes can be efficiently washed only by adding 0.2% by weight or less of an alkaline detergent, so that the concentration of the detergent contained in the wastewater is reduced. Since the washing water after washing the dishes is neutralized and drained using the strong acid water, the adverse effect on the environment can be reduced.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following Examples, which should not be construed as limiting the present invention. (Experiment) (1) Types of dirt The dirt adhering to tableware can be roughly classified into starch dirt, protein dirt, and oil dirt. Rice dirt as starch dirt, eggs as protein dirt, and salad oil as oil dirt. Lipstick was selected. Eggs were used individually as samples because it is said that coagulation temperatures differ between white and yolk. (2) Adjustment method of dirt and adhesion method Starch dirt was prepared by cooking rice with a pressure of 0.5 using a rheometer.
The sample was attached to a slide glass at kg / cm 2 and left at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain a sample. Further, the persistence after washing was confirmed by an iodine starch reaction. Protein stains were obtained by separately attaching egg yolk and white meat to a slide glass and leaving them at room temperature for 1 hour to prepare a sample. In addition, since the white body was transparent, the protein indicator amide black 10B was added and colored, and the degree of stain removal was confirmed. Further, the persistence of the yolk after washing was confirmed by an Amido-Schwarz reaction. For oil stains, oil after fried beef was used. That is, oily indicator oil Red O is added to a mixture of oil, broth and a trace amount of protein, and after attaching to a slide glass,
The sample left at room temperature for 1 hour was used as a sample. The lipstick is Lippiers <6> made by Rapiers (main component:
(Dibutylhydroxytoluene) was attached to a slide glass and left at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain a sample.

From Table 1, it can be seen that rice grains have a washing effect at a washing temperature of 75 ° C. at a detergent concentration of 0.15% by weight or more, and lipsticks have a washing effect at a washing temperature of 75 ° C. at a detergent concentration of 0.1% by weight or more. Was confirmed. The washing effect of the egg white was confirmed under all the washing conditions described above. The cleaning effect of the egg yolk and oil was confirmed under all the above-mentioned cleaning conditions. However, when the detergent was not added and when the detergent concentration was 0.05% by weight, the dirt was removed.
After the washing, water was repelled at places where dirt was attached. Therefore, in order to remove all dirt, it is found that it is desirable to remove proteins that coagulate during high-temperature washing in the first stage and raise the temperature of the washing solution in the second stage to remove lipsticks and rice grains that were difficult to remove conventionally. . That is, by first washing using a washing solution at a detergent concentration of about 0 to 0.1% by weight at a temperature of 50 to 55 ° C., the protein can be washed without coagulating, and at the same time, oil stains can be washed. It can be seen that starch such as rice grains can be washed by washing with a washing solution at 70 to 80 ° C. of about 1 to 0.15% by weight, and lipstick can also be washed.
