CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
TOUCH-UPS, SPOTS, AND SHINE
Olive oil can help remove streaks and add shine
to your sink. Wash and dry your sink 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, there
will inevitably be dissolved minerals and salts
in your rinse water. 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 the stainless steel that we use for our
sinks is very durable, no stainless steel sink is
completely scratch-proof. However, we offer
stainless steel grids to help protect the bottom

Cleaning & Care
of the sink from scratches. We do not
recommend the use of rubber mats because
water and residue becomes trapped between
the rubber and the sink and can cause
damage.
If ne scratches do occur, they can be
removed using a mild abrasive cleaner such
as Bar Keepers Friend®. Be sure to always
use nylon or other synthetic cleaning pad
and 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.
