RECOMMENDED CLEANERS
X For stains or light scratches, we suggest a mildly
aggressive cleaner. You can also try a paste of baking
soda and water, but be sure to rinse well and dry.
X For stubborn stains and more noticeable scratches, we
suggest a more aggressive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s
Friend©. For extremely stubborn stains, you may also try
to use a Scotch-Brite™ Pad.
X When using any of these cleaners, it is critical that you
rub in the direction of the grain lines of the sink, rinse
completely and towel dry.
SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE
X Rinse thoroughly after each use. Most soaps and
detergents contain chlorides that are harsh on stainless
steel. The good news is that chlorides are highly water
soluble so a thorough rinsing of your sink after each use
and weekly cleaning will keep your sink looking bright and
shiny.
X Towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits
from building upon the surface of the sink. Water quality
can affect the appearance of your sink. Towel drying and
weekly cleaning will prevent discoloration or unsightly
lm from developing on the nish.
X Always use the Cahaba sink bottom grid to protect your
sinks nish.
X Clean the sink once a week. Be sure to rub in the direction
of the satin nish lines, using a Cahaba recommended
cleanser.
X For a gleaming nish: Polish your stainless steel sink by
applying dry flour to the surface. Rub the flour in with a
soft cloth, then rinse and dry or place the stopper in your
sink, pour some club soda in and rub with a soft cloth.
Dry with a different soft cloth to prevent water spots and
surface rust.
CAUTION
X Don’t rub the sink across the satin nish lines. Scouring
across the satin nish lines can damage the original sink
nish.
X Don’t allow soap or other household cleansers to dry on
the surface of the sink. Most brands contain chemical
additives which will affect the original nish.
X Don’t use solutions of chlorine bleach and water in
the sink. Chlorides, which are found in most soaps,
detergents, bleaches, and cleansers, are very aggressive
to stainless steel. If left on the sink too long, they can
cause surface pitting.
X Don’t leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the
sink. This can lead to surface rust.
• Don’t use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. If a more
abrasive product is needed, use a green Scotch-Brite™
pad, being sure to rub in the direction of the satin nish
lines. Steel wool pads have a tendency to break apart
and small particles of steel can become embedded in the
surface of the sink. The steel particles will rust and will
give the appearance that the sink itself is rusting.
• Don’t use rubber mats or dishpans in the sink. Leaving
rubber mats or dishpans in the sink can lead to surface
rust or possible pitting. However, if you insist on using
mats or dishpans, please remove them after each use and
rinse thoroughly.
