Care and Cleaning

Your sink is manufactured with the highest grade stainless steel and will provide you many years of enjoyment with the proper care .

After use, always rinse your sink with tap water to dilute and

remove deposits .

Towel dry the sink after use whenever possible to prevent water

spots . Should water spots occur, clean with a mild solution of

vinegar and water followed by a thorough rinse .

Use liquid soap, a general household cleaner,

or a weak solution of vinegar and water for

regular cleaning .

Only use plastic scouring pads recommended for use in stainless

steel sinks, and only use them in the bowl of the sink . Scrub in the

direction of the satin finish lines.

wear and tear .

To remove scratches, spots, and blemishes from the sink, rub them with a non-metallic scouring pad (e.g. Scotch-Brite

(e.g. Vim

). Always rub the surfaces in the direction of the grain of the steel. When finished, rinse the sink with water and dry it with a towel
