High quality (18/10 sink material) stainless steel has a natural
resistance to common hot acids and stains such as coffee, tea, fruits
and vegetables.
Steel is a safe and bacteria-free material which makes it a safe
choice for food preparation. The sink doesn’t release anything that
could affect the ingredients used in cooking.
The heat resistance of the sink is excellent but it’s good to note that
hot dishes can leave marks on the sink which doesn’t affect the
usability of the sink.
Over time, the stainless steel surface will be scratched and at first,
the sink may look scratched, but when you use it regularly the entire
surface begins to scratch evenly and the individual scratches no
longer separate from the surface. Scratching doesn’t affect sink
usability.

the
Dai cleaner

residues.

Recycling
Sinks made of stainless steel are completely recyclable when they are
at the end of their useful life. Always deliver the decommissioned steel
product to a recycling point. In this case, new steel is made from the
recycled steel. All packaging materials are also 100% recyclable.
