Recommendations for Proper Maintenance
• Do...Use only a mild liquid dishwashing detergent with a soft
sponge to clean and then thoroughly rinse the sink.
•
Do...Rinse thoroughly after each use. “Thorough” rinsing can
be done by running water for a few minutes and rubbing the
cleaned area with a soft, clean sponge.
•
Do...Towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from
building up on the surface of the sink.
•
Do Not...Allow liquid soap or other household cleansers to dry
on the surface of the sink. Most brands contain chemical addi-
tives which will affect the original finish.
•
Do Not...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.
•
Do Not...Use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. 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.
•
Do Not...Leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the
sink. This can lead to surface rust.
Following these recommendations for the care and cleaning of
your stainless steel sink will insure that it will provide you with
many years of service.
Chlorides
Today, chlorides are found in most all soap, detergents, bleach-
es and cleansers; chlorides can be appressive to stainless steel.
However, chlorides are very water soluable. Therefore,
THOROUGH RINSING of your sink after each use to remove any
chloride residue and a weekly scouring is all that is required to
keep your sink looking bright and shiny.
Water Quality
The quality of your water can affect your sink’s appearance. If your
water has a high iron content, a brown surface stain can form on
the sink giving the appearance of rust. Additionally, in areas with a
high concentration of minerals, or with over-softened water, a
white film may develop on the sink. To combat these problems, we
suggest that the sink be towel dried after use.
