5. Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and performance of your Lordear kitchen sink, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive tools, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, ammonia-based cleaners) as they can damage the finish.
- Prevent Scratches: Use the included bottom rinse grid to protect the sink surface from scratches caused by heavy pots and pans.
- Water Spots: Wipe the sink dry after each use to prevent water spots, especially in areas with hard water. The nano-PVD finish is designed to be water and oil resistant, making cleaning easier.
- During Remodeling: Keep the sink away from decoration materials during remodeling to prevent accidental damage.

If you encounter any issues with your Lordear kitchen sink, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Leaking Drain: Check all connections of the drain assembly. Ensure gaskets are properly seated and nuts are tightened. If necessary, reapply plumber's putty or sealant.
- Slow Drainage: Verify that the X-shaped grooves are clear of debris. Check the drain assembly for any blockages.
- Water Spots/Stains: Ensure the sink is wiped dry after each use. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed for black finishes.
