GENERAL CLEANING

To maintain the beautiful luster of the stainless steel,

Kraus recommends cleaning your sink once a week

using water and a mild liquid soap detergent (ammo-

nia-free). Apply the cleaner with a soft sponge, thorough-

ly rinse with lukewarm water, and pat dry with a microﬁ-

ber cleaning cloth.

HARD WATER SOLUTIONS & DEEP CLEANING

If hard water deposits build up over time, we recom-

mend using vinegar to neutralize the minerals and

remove the deposits. Use a soft dishcloth saturated

with vinegar to gently rub the sink surface, then rinse

with water and towel dry.

MAXIMUM SURFACE PROTECTION

Kraus stainless steel bottom grids are designed to

protect the ﬁnish on the bottom of the sink bowl. These

grids are included with most Kraus stainless steel sink

models. If you need a replacement grid, our customer

service team will be happy to help! P 800-775-0703 | E

SURFACE SCRATCHES

Surface scratches resulting from normal use are com-

mon in stainless steel sinks. Over time, with proper

cleaning, they will fade away and blend into the overall

ﬁnish of your sink. Most minor scratches can be softened

with a ﬁne (white) 3M Scotch Brite pad, or 3M Scotch

THINGS TO AVOID

• DO NOT use cleaners containing any abrasive pow-

ders, bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or chlorine

• DO NOT use any abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire

brushes when cleaning the sink (use non-scratch clean-

ing pads ONLY)

• DO NOT use cleaners containing chloride or chlorine.

If these ingredients come in contact with the sink,

minimize any potential damage by rinsing the sink sur-

face immediately to prevent corrosion and permanent

damage
