Care and Maintenance of Stainless Steel Sinks:
Much of the beauty of stainless steel lies in its long-lasting wear and enduring good looks. Follow these simple sink
cleaning and maintenance tips, and your Hahn stainless steel sink will retain its original beauty for years to come.
Simple cleaning tips to keep your sink stain-free:
• Since most soaps and detergents contain chlorides,
We recommend frequent rinsing of your stainless
steel sink, preferably after each use.
• Combine this simple daily treatment with weekly
cleansing with an abrasive cleaner. Unlike porcelain
sinks, durable stainless steel stands up strongly to
abrasive cleansers. Remember always to scrub in the
direction of the polish lines so that your efforts blend
with the surface of your sink. For less aggressive
approach, try cleaning your stainless steel sink with a
paste of baking soda and water. Rinse well and dry.
Regularly drying your sink works wonders to prevent
water and surface rust marks.
• Looking for that extra sparkle? Use  our power to
polish your stainless steel sink by applying dry  our
when the look you’re after is a gleaming  nish. Rub
the  our in with a soft cloth, and then rinse and dry.
Club soda will do the sparkle trick as well. After plac-
ing the stopper in your sink, pour some club soda
in and rub with a soft cloth. As always, dry with soft
cloth to prevent water spots and surface rust.
• Add some shine with a few drops of baby oil. Wipe
off with paper toweling and repeat for added shine.
Maintaining the original beauty of your sink:
• Do not let soap cleansers dry on the sink surface.
Rinse regularly to keep the chlorides found in most
cleansers from affecting the sink’s natural luster.
• Steer clear of steel wool pads. The iron particles
that are left behind can lead to rust and corrosion.
For hard-to-clean projects, try a ScotchBrite scour-
ing pad when the job at hand requires a little extra
effort, again in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid leaving steel and cast iron cookware in your
sink for extended periods of time. Iron plus moisture
on top of stainless steel can lead to surface rust
and staining.
• Rubber dish mats, wet sponges and cleaning pads
are not recommended for a lengthy stay in your sink.
Since they trap water, discoloration and staining can
result.
• Just as you do not use your cutting board to clean
the dishes, do not use your sink as a cutting board.
Knives and other sharp kitchen instruments will
naturally damage the surface of your sink.
