Care and Cleaning Instructions To maintain the product and to avoid possible damage, please use caution when cleaning and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. SINKS Clean regularly with clean water and/or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry after every use to prevent water spots and mineral deposits from building up on the surface of the sink. Deep clean once a week with an approved cleanser and a soft cloth or sponge rather than an occasional aggressive single cleaning - be sure to rub in the direction of the finish lines. Cleaners should state approved or suitable for stainless steel. Scratches Like most metallic surfaces, stainless sinks will get scratches. These are usage scratches and will blend in with the overall finish of your sink over time. There are steps that can be taken to reduce appearance of scratches: Use a nylon pad with an iron free abrasive polishing compound. Follow the direction of the original polish lines to blend out the scratch in a small area. Be cautious not to overdo the process. A too aggressive procedure will result in a bright spot. Water Quality Regular routine cleaning can usually prevent lime scale deposits from hard water. Do not allow excessive build up before treating. Soaking in a 25% vinegar solution can treat hard water spots. Periodically rub with a synthetic scouring pad, then rinse and towel dry. Rust Marks If you develop rust marks due to presence of or contact with iron containing materials, swab with a sponge wetted with a dilute solution of (10-15%) nitric acid (HN03) and follow with routine cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact of iron containing materials with stainless steel.
