HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR KITCHEN SINK

STAINLESS STEEL SINKS

With proper attention and maintenance devoted to your stainless steel sink, you can significantly extend its lifespan and preserve its lustrous appearance. Learn the correct methods for caring for your sink.

After Each Use 

  • Remove all objects, ie: pads, grids, clothes, etc, from the sink.

  • Clean with a light soap solution, rinse, drain all water, and towel dry.

  • 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 coloured) pad following the direction of sink grain finish. Pay careful attention to the directional change from side walls to the bottom of the sink.

​

Top Surface and Polished Mirror Finishes: Polish with a soft, dry towel or cloth.

Mineral Deposits: Use a stainless steel cleaning product that contains mild abrasives or a light solution of vinegar and water (1:20 ratio); rinse well and towel dry.

Caution

  • Avoid using steel wool or other metal or coarse scouring pads to clean the sink.

  • Do not stand on, or in the sink for any reason, such as when cleaning windows, reaching for the top shelf, painting, etc.

  • Dropping heavy objects into the sink will cause denting and buckling.

  • Do not use sharp objects in the sink or use the sink as a cutting surface.

  • Leaving water, bleach, cleaners, or chemicals of any type in the sink for a prolonged time will cause erosion, discolouration, or other irreparable damage.
