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.
* Please note chlorides are found in most all soap, detergents, bleaches and cleansers. Chlorides can be harsh on stainless
steel. Rinse your sink thoroughly after each use to remove any chloride residue.
SCRATCHES:
Scratches are inevitable during your usage over time. To treat, 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 cautious not to overdo the process, as
cleaning too aggressively could result in a bright spot.
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:
Use a stainless steel cleaner and avoid use of bleach and cleansers.
SOME DON'Ts:
• 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.
