STAINLESS STEEL ACCESSORIES
GENERAL CLEANING
Kraus stainless steel kitchen accessories are designed 
for durability and easy maintenance. For general mainte-
nance and to prevent build-up over time, we recommend 
using water or water with a mild liquid soap detergent to 
clean the accessory and dry it with a microfiber cleaning 
cloth after use. Apply your choice of cleaner from the 
“Products to Consider” section below, then thoroughly 
rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a microfiber 
cleaning cloth.
DEEP CLEANING
For a more thorough cleaning, use water and a mild 
liquid soap detergent (ammonia-free) or a product from 
the “Products to Consider” section below. Apply cleaner 
directly to the accessory with a soft sponge or microfiber 
cloth, then thoroughly rinse with lukewarm water and pat 
dry with a microfiber cleaning cloth. To remove stuck-on 
food or grime, you can also fill your sink with hot water 
and soap suds or a mild liquid cleanser and place the 
accessories in the sink to soak. Use a scrub brush and 
dish soap, or a soft cleanser like Bar Keeper’s friend, 
to tackle any trouble spots, then rinse thoroughly with 
water. Since Kraus stainless steel accessories are dish-
washer-safe, you can also place them in the dishwasher 
for easy maintenance.
THINGS TO AVOID

WASHER-SAFE in the dishwasher. These accessories

can damage the stainless steel surface
