Care and Cleaning
Daily, regular cleaning to remove dirt and prevent staining is recommended. Use liquid dish detergent, water and a soft household sponge.
Mild, non-abrasive cleaners can be used with a nylon scrub pad. To ensure a uniform appearance in a stainless steel sink surface, rinse with
water and wipe down the sink with a soft, dry cloth. Drying the sink will prevent water spots caused by time in the water.
Remove stubborn stains from lime or calcium deposits by pouring a little warm vinegar or vinegar-based cleaner into the sink and allow it to
sit for a few minutes. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Scratches are inevitable during your usage over time. Use a nylon pad with an iron free abrasive polishing compound. Follow the original
polish lines to blend out the scratch in a small area. Be careful not to overdo as aggressive scrubbing will result in a bright spot.
DO NOT use strong abrasive cleaners, metal scrub pads, or steel wool. These will scratch the surface.
DO NOT leave rubber mats or sponges inside the sink. Water trapped below could lead to stains.
DO NOT let food with a high salt content sit inside the sink for prolonged periods of time.
DO NOT allow chlorine bleach to sit inside a stainless steel sink for more than 1 hour.
DO NOT allow drain cleaners to come into contact with the sink surface.
DO NOT pour paint in your sink. The chemicals in acrylic paint will react with sinks if allowed to sit over 24 hours and will produce permanent
marks. For latex based paints, remove any residue immediately using a paint remover manufactured by the same brand. Consult the paint
remover recommendations before using on the sink. For all sinks, we also recommend nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol or an acetone
based paint remover to eliminate paint residue.
Rust spots – Stainless steel does not rust. Rust stains are the result of iron particles introduced by water, cookware, and steel wool pads that
react with water to create rust. Metal cleaners will remove rust spots.
Food stains – Depending on the severity of the stain, use a bleach and water solution or pour the bleach onto a cloth and cover the stain.
Allow the bleach to sit for at least 1/2 hour and then clean with dish detergent and water.
