Care & Clean for AguaStella Stainless Steel Sink
·Properly maintained, AguaStella stainless steel sinks will not chip, peel, rust or discolor—providing
years of trouble-free service. The following chart and tips illustrate our recommendations for
maintaining the original appearance of your AguaStella stainless steel sink.
·Do not use steel wool pads. This can cause rust or pitting of the sink surface.
·Do not leave rubber mats and wet sponges, cloths or cleaning pads in the sink. Food particles and
deposits can cause discoloration.
·Do not leave liquid soap to dry on the sink surface. Many detergents contain chemicals that can
dull the finish, or cause pitting or staining.
·Do not use bleach. Even when diluted, bleach can cause corrosion when exposed to stainless steel
for extended time periods. If bleach does come in contact with your sink, rinse thoroughly.
NOTE
·Water quality can also affect the appearance of your sink. Where hard water or water with high
iron content is present, a brown stain that looks like rust may appear. In areas with water that
has high concentrations of minerals or oversoftened water, a white film may appear on the sink.
If either condition exists, we recommend drying the sink with a soft towel after each use.
·We recommend thoroughly cleaning your sink once a week.
