How to Care For Your Stainless Steel Sink

USE AND CARE OF A STAINLESS STEEL SINK

Clean your stainless steel sink on a frequent, regular basis
When cleaning your stainless steel sink, ensure the sink is clean and dry
Use a mild abrasive cleanser such as Old Dutch, Comet or Cameo
When cleaning and scrubbing, follow the direction of the grain of the stainless steel sink. Any scrubbing against the grain will result in scratches
Always rinse stainless steel sinks thoroughly after cleaning, and wipe with a cloth to prevent any water-spotting
If there is a mineral deposit build-up, use vinegar, Lime-Away or CLR, and flush with water
Use stainless steel bottom grids to prevent the sink bowl from any scratching or markings from kitchen utensils and cutlery

PRECAUTIONS:

DO NOT use steel wool pads to clean your stainless steel sink. The small iron particles of the pads will lead to rusting and corrosion. It is highly recommended to use scouring pads, such as ScotchBrite to clean
DO NOT keep any mild steel or cast iron cookware in the stainless steel sink for long periods of time, since it will result in permanent staining of the sink
DO NOT leave rubber dish mats, sponges, or cleaning pads in the stainless sink overnight. It can lead to staining and discoloration of the stainless steel sink
DO NOT use chlorine bleach as a cleanser, for it may cause pitting. NOTE: Some bacterial soaps contain chlorine compounds
BE AWARE that any sink drain cleaning product containing sulphuric or hydrochloric acid will damage the stainless steel sink
