CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
TOUCH-UPS, SPOTS, AND SHINE
Olive oil can help remove streaks and add
shine to your faucet. Wash and dry your faucet
thoroughly, and add a few drops of olive oil to
a paper towel. Rub the towel over the streaked
areas and wipe away with a clean, wet cloth.
Undiluted white vinegar can also help remove
ngerprints or hard water deposits. Simply pour
the vinegar onto a soft cloth and rub over the
spots and surrounding area. Wipe away with a
clean, wet cloth and dry thoroughly.
SANITIZATION
No matter how clean your water supply is, the
presence of dissolved minerals and salts in
your rinse water is inevitable. When the water
evaporates, these minerals and salts are left
behind, creating unsightly water spots that dull
the appearance of the sink. Drying your sink
after rinsing will prevent these water spots.
The best method to clean a stainless steel sink
is with a mild detergent or an ultra-mild abrasive
cleaner, such as Soft Scrub® or Bar Keepers
Friend®. When used weekly, these cleaning
methods will help prevent the buildup of mineral
deposits. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for any store-bought cleaning
product, and always scrub in the direction of the
grain/nish of the stainless steel.
CORROSION
Corrosion is rare, but a very serious threat to
stainless steel sinks. Many household cleaners
contain chlorine bleach or other chlorides and
acids that can stain and corrode stainless
steel sinks. Plumbing PVC solvents or certain
grout cleaners that contain muriatic acid can
also cause damage. If any of these dangerous
chemicals get in the sink, rinse immediately with
plenty of water and dry thoroughly.
SCRATCHES
While stainless steel is very durable, no stainless
steel sink is completely scratch-proof. However,
we offer stainless steel grids to help protect
the bottom of the sink from scratches and
blemishes. We do not recommend the use

Cleaning & Care
of rubber mats with stainless steel sinks
because water and grime can becomes
trapped between the rubber and the sink and
cause damage.
If ne scratches occur, they can be removed
using a mild abrasive cleaner such as Bar
Keepers Friend®. Be sure to use nylon or
other synthetic cleaning pads and always
scrub with the grain of the sink. For deeper
scratches, a product such as Scratch-B-
Gone® can be used. Never use steel wool to
clean a stainless steel sink.
