Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning will preserve the appearance and integrity of the surface. Stainless steel can 

easily be cleaned and kept stain-free using various methods. 

Recommendations: 

•  Clean with an abrasive cleaner like, Bon-Ami or Zud weekly or bi-weekly. Always scrub in the 

direction of the grain or polish lines. Another option is to use Baking soda. Make sure to 

rinse well and dry. Illustration A 

•  Most soaps and detergents contain chlorides, we recommend rinsing the stainless-steel 

sink with hot water after use, to prevent corrosion. Illustration B

•  Do not leave salt in the sink or near a saltwater environment. 
•  Use a quality stainless steel cleaner and follow cleaner instructions. Wipe along the grain 

(NOT against). Illustration D

Things to Avoid:

•  Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners and corrosive chemicals. 
•  Avoid abrasive scouring pads, carbon steel brushes and steel wool for cleaning as iron 

particles left behind can lead to rust. 

•  Avoid the use of oily rags or greasy cloths when wiping the surface. To avoid water spots, 

wipe dry after use. 

Additional Tips:

•  Regularly drying your sink works wonders to prevent water and surface rust marks.
•  Wear rubber gloves when working with cleaners to protect your hands.
•  Never mix cleaners. Some products react to create dangerous gases.
•  There are thousands of blended or compound cleaners on the market. Users are advised to 

contact suppliers of solvents for information on their applications on stainless steel.

•  DO NOT USE SOLVENTS in closed spaces or while smoking.
•  Note: Columbia does not recommend use with harsh chemicals.
