6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Bokaiya kitchen sink.

6.1 Daily Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water to remove food particles and residue.
• Wipe the sink surface with a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap.
• For the NANO brushed finish, water tends to bead and roll off, making cleaning easier and reducing water spots.
• Product Care Instructions: Wipe with a dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.

6.2 Avoiding Damage

• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, drain cleaners) as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
• Do not leave acidic foods (e.g., citrus, tomatoes) or corrosive substances in the sink for extended periods.
• Use the included dish grid to protect the bottom of the sink from heavy pots and pans.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

7.1 Slow Drainage

• Check for Blockages: Ensure the basket strainer is clear of debris.
• X-Shape Flow Line: The sink features an X-shape flow line design to direct water towards the drain. Ensure the sink is level to maximize this feature.
• Plumbing Issues: If the sink is clear, check the P-trap and plumbing for clogs.

7.2 Excessive Noise

• Sound Dampening: The sink is equipped with thicker and softer rubber pads to minimize noise from dishes and water. Ensure these pads are intact.
• Vibration: Check if the sink is securely mounted to the countertop. Loose mounting clips can cause vibrations.
