VELSTRA AND NEOSTONE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on purchasing your new sink. Vel-
stra and Neostone are revolutionary sink materials
that are extremely robust and hard wearing. How-
ever both materials will benefi t from a little care
and attention to ensure lasting good looks and per-
formance. Please read the following care advice
carefully.
Cleaning
For every day cleaning a damp cloth with ordinary
washing up liquid will suffi ce. Heavier staining can
be removed with a cream cleaner eg. Cif on a damp
cloth. Really stubborn stains should be treated to
an overnight soaking in diluted bleach. Please do
not use abrasive powders or steel scouring pads
as they may affect the surface gloss. Do not at-
tempt to remove limescale by scraping it off, an
application of citric acid (lemon juice) should, with
the help of a stiff brush, remove any deposits. Sil-
ver streaks on the surface of the sink are caused
by aluminium utensils and are not scratches, they
can be easily removed with a cream cleaner.
Heat Resistance
Velstra and Neostone are highly resistant to ex-
tremes of temperature and will withstand hot pans
up to 230°C but avoid pans containing very hot oil
above this temperature.
Chemical Resistance
Velstra and Neostone are resistant to just about
any chemical found in the home, but be careful,
these days waste systems are made from plastic
materials which may not be. The coloured wastes
supplied as standard with the sink, are made from
a tough plastic material but these are not resistant
to some solvents, especially nail varnish remover,
acetone and nitro thinners.
Further Advice
Do not use the drainer as a chopping board. A hard
wood chopping board or polyethylene food board
is available as an optional extra.
Avoid plastic washing up bowls, they pick up fi ne
particles of grit which transforms them into very
effi cient grinding surfaces causing wear on your
sink. We recommend a rubber mat in this case.
