Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and performance of your stainless steel sink, follow these care guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive tools, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the brushed finish.
• Prevent Scratches: Keep sharp objects and heavy items from directly impacting the sink surface. The included bottom grids can help protect the sink from scratches.
• Protect from Remodeling Materials: During any remodeling work, ensure the sink is protected from dust, debris, and harsh chemicals from construction materials.
• Water Spot Prevention: To minimize water spots, especially in hard water areas, wipe the sink dry after each use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Lordear kitchen sink, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Water Spots: If water spots appear, ensure you are wiping the sink dry after each use. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed to remove water stains.
• Slow Drainage: Check the drain assemblies for any debris or food particles that might be causing a blockage. Ensure the X-shaped grooves are clear.
• Leaks: If you notice any leaks, re-check the connections of the drain assemblies and the sealant around the sink's edge. Tighten connections if necessary. If the issue persists, professional assistance may be required.
• Scratches: While the brushed finish is designed for scratch resistance, deep scratches can occur. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with specialized stainless steel scratch removal kits.
