Care and Cleaning

Your sink is manufactured with the highest grade stainless steel and will provide you many years of enjoyment with the proper care .
Do
- After use, always rinse and dry to eliminate any film
build-up that may develop from hard water deposits .
- Use standard commercial washing detergent, acetic
acid (vinegar) or household cleaning product with
active oxygen to remove any dirt deposits . Always
rinse thoroughly after using any cleaner .
- Use a damp cloth or a damp sponge to remove more
stubborn marks . The non-porous surface makes the
sink very hygienic and colored liquids such as coffee
will not stain .
- Rust stains are a result of iron particles from an
outside source (i .e ., water, cookware, etc .) and can
be removed with cleaners containing oxalic acid (Bar
Keepers Friend ® ) .
SCRATCH, SPOT, AND BLEMISH REMOVAL AND SURFACE RESTORATION:
Little rust spots and blemishes that periodically appear in the sink are typically the result of the steel interacting with the chemicals found in the vast spectrum of
substances that sinks are commonly exposed to . They may also get transferred from other objects placed or left in the sink . Scratches are the result of regular wear
and tear .
To remove scratches, spots, and blemishes from the sink, rub them with a non-metallic scouring pad (e .g . Scotch-Brite
). Always rub the surfaces in the direction of the grain of the steel. When finished, rinse the sink with water and dry it with a towel to allow the
Barkeeper's Friend ®
sink to form a protective outer layer . This procedure can also be used to renew all of the surfaces of the sink .
Do Not
- Do not use drain unblocking chemicals
- Do not use abrasive powders or pads .
- Do not use strong alkalis (ammonia and caustic soda
solution) .
- Never use steel wool pads, as it will scratch the surface
of the sink .
- Never leave steel or cast iron pans in your sink for
extended periods of time, as this can cause corrosion .
- Never use chlorine-based cleaners in your new sink,
they could lead to rust spots and discolouration . If you
must use them, rinse sink thoroughly with fresh water
immediately after use . If any chemicals or glue make
contact with the sink during installation, wipe clean and
rinse thoroughly with fresh water .
