Stainless Steel Sink Cleaning Recommendations: If maintained properly, your Moen® stainless steel kitchen sink will not chip, peel, rust or discolor. The following chart illustrates our recommendations for maintaining the original appearance of your new Moen® stain-less steel kitchen sink.

or cloth followed by a thorough rinsing, then dry.
Smears and fingerprints:| Use window or glass cleaner. Rub with a cloth.
Persistent spots and stains:| Stainless steel cleaner. Apply with a sponge or cloth. Rub back and forth in direction of grain lines. Rinse with clean water and dry. NOTE: Not for mirror finishes.
Hard water spots and scale:| Vinegar (full strength). Swab and soak for 5-10 minutes. Rub, then rinse with a neutralizer such as baking soda solution. Rinse with clean water and dry.
“Rusty” discoloration and atmospheric stains:| Use any of the cleaning agents listed above. Swab with a cloth and soak for 5 minutes. If necessary, rub with a nylon pad. Rinse with clean water and dry.
What not to use:| Do not use steel wool pads. This can cause rust or pitting of the sink surface.

In addition to the above cleaning recommendations, we suggest you try to avoid leaving rubber mats, wet sponges, cloths and cleaning pads to sit in the sink or liquid soap to dry on the surface. Food particles and deposits can cause discoloration. Many detergents contain chemi-cals that can dull the finish, cause pitting or staining. Avoid using bleach — even diluted this can cause corrosion if left for extended periods of time. If bleach comes in contact with your sink, rinse thoroughly. Hard water or water with high iron content may cause a brown, rust-like stain. Water with a high concentration of minerals or over-softened water may cause a white film. If either condition exists, dry the sink with a soft towel after each use.
