Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your stainless steel sink.

Daily Cleaning:

• Wipe the sink with a soft towel after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
• For general cleaning, use a mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the brushed finish.

Addressing Stains and Yellowing:

• If yellowing or other stubborn stains occur, apply a small amount of toothpaste to a soft cloth and gently rub the affected area. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• For tougher stains, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions.

Preventative Measures:

• Keep the sink away from decoration materials during remodeling to prevent damage.
• The R10 round corners are designed for easier cleaning and to prevent corner stain accumulation.
• The X-shaped water guide line in the sink bottom promotes fast drainage and prevents standing water.
• The anti-condensation spray undercoating helps prevent condensation dripping, protecting your cabinet.
