Each Use

dry.

sink.
Regular
Maintenance
Side Walls
and Bottom of Sink: Remove stains using a cleaning product
that contains mild abrasives; always wipe in grain direction; rinse
well and towel dry. For stubborn stains or scratches:
Use a fine grit Scotch-Brite® (maroon) pad following
direction of sink grain finish. Pay careful attention to the
directional change from side walls to bottom of sink.
Top Surface
and Polished Mirror Finishes: Polish with a soft, dry towel
or cloth.
Mineral
Deposits: Use a cleaning product that contains mild abrasives
or a light solution of vinegar and water (1:20 ratio); rinse well
and towel dry.
CAUTION
Stainless
steel requires exposure to air; DO NOT leave items, objects,
cloths, mats, water, pots and pans, cast iron, knifes, etc., in
sink when not washing. Some items void stainless steel from
oxygen and can cause pitting or rusting.
• DO
NOT use steel wool or other metal or coarse scouring
pads.
• DO
NOT stand on or in sink when cleaning windows, reaching for top
shelf, painting, etc.

NOT drop heavy objects in sink as this will cause
denting.

NOT leave water, bleach, other cleaners, or chemicals of any type
in sink; always rinse sink after any use and dry with towel.
NEVER USE concentrated bleach; always dilute with water and rinse
thoroughly after use.
• DO
NOT use any acids, drain cleaners, harsh chemicals, paint removers,
metal cleaners, etc., in sink.

NOT drop sharp objects in sink or use as a cutting
surface.
