About This CST-500 Cart Washer Detergent
Complete Solutions Technologies builds CST-500 for the cart washers that move instruments, supplies and linens through a facility all day. The concentrate is dosed at 28 ml per gallon of water for most applications, and the dose can be adjusted between 20 and 40 ml per gallon when water quality or bio-burden load runs heavy. Chelating additives counteract hard water and prevent scale buildup inside the machine, which protects both the carts and the washer itself. The formula contains no scale-forming phosphates, chlorides or hydroxides, so it cleans without attacking the metal it washes. It is sold as listed in the 5 gallon size, ready to connect to the wash cycle of any make of cart washing unit.

Why Choose This CST-500 Cart Washer Detergent
Cart washers run on chemistry that has to clean aggressively and rinse without leaving scale behind. CST-500 pairs a bio-burden removing concentrate with chelating additives that fight hard water, so carts come out clean and the machine stays free of buildup. That balance is hard to get from a general purpose detergent substituted into a cart washer.
- Cleaner carts, wash after wash – Blood and organic matter come off in the wash cycle instead of baking onto cart surfaces
- Less scale service – Chelating additives prevent scale buildup, which cuts descaling work on the washer itself
- One concentrate for every unit – The formula is made for all makes of cart washing units, so mixed fleets need one product on the shelf
- Dose only what the load needs – The 20 to 40 ml per gallon working range lets staff match the dose to soil level instead of overdosing every load
