CARE AND MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS:

  • Clean everyday by thoroughly rinsing with a mild soap and warm water and wipe dry. Some chemicals such as chlorides may corrode stainless steel, make sure you rinse the surface immediately.
  • Rub lightly with a soft cloth in the direction of grain lines on a regular basis for additional preventive cleaning.
  • Keep the sink free of any standing water as this can cause a buildup of mineral deposit, which can affect the appearance of your sink.
  • Any stubborn stains should be removed by scrubbing in the direction of the grain with a mild abrasive such as Comet.
  • Always rinse the sink after using any cleaning agent and wipe dry. Clean any mineral deposits built up over time with a mild solution of vinegar and water followed by a thorough flushing with water. Towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from building up on the surface of the sink.
  • Remove any scratches with a Scotch-brute pad and cleaning agent rubbing in the direction of the grain.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MIRROR FINISH.

NEVER:

  • Leave water spots, steel cookware, utensils, wet sponges, cloths or cleaning pads in the sink for lengthy periods; iron particles often develop rust spots in the stainless steel surface.
  • Use a steel wool or scoring pad as it damages the sink surface and causes discoloration.
  • Rub the sink across the stainless steel finish lines.
  • Let household cleaning agents or bleach sit in your sink for long period of time as this may ruin the finish of your sink.
  • Leave rubber mats, sponges, or cleaning pads in the sink for long period of time as this may ruin the finish of your sink.
  • Use any drain cleaning products containing sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid as this will attach the sink. Silver cleaners can also contain acids that will damage the sink surface.
  • Use the inside of the sink as cutting surface.
  • Use a steel wool pad to clean your sink.
