3 Simple Steps in Caring for Your Sink
Stainless Steel Undemount Sink Care and Maintenance

Clean regularly with a mild detergent solution and/or clean water applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and towel dry after every use to prevent mineral deposits from building up on the surface of the sink. Deep clean once a week with an approved cleanser (be sure to rub in the direction of the finish lines) and a soft cloth or sponge rather than an occasional aggressive single cleaning. Cleaners should state approved or suitable for stainless steel.

Scratches
As with most metallic surfaces your stainless sink will get scratches. These are merely usage scratches and over time will blend in with the overall finish of your sink. However there are steps that can be taken to reduce appearance of scratches. Use a nylon pad with an iron free abrasive polishing compound. Follow the direction of the original polish lines to blend out the scratch in a small area. Be cautious not to overdo the process. A too aggressive procedure will result in a bright spot.

Water Quality
Regular routine cleaning can usually prevent lime scale deposits from hard water. Do not allow excessive build up before treating. Soaking in a 25% vinegar solution can treat hard water spots. Periodically rub with a synthetic scouring pad. Then rinse and towel dry.

Rust Marks
If you develop rust marks due to presence of or contact with ferrous (iron containing) materials, swab with a sponge wetted with a dilute solution of (10-15%) nitric acid (HN03) and follow with routine cleaning. Avoid prolonged contact of ferrous (i.e. cast iron pans) materials with stainless steel.

Some Don'ts

Do not use coarse abrasive powders, metallic scourers such as steel wool or brushes with metal bristles.
Do not use silver cleaner.
Do not leave wet sponges, cloths, cleaning pads, rubber mats, or dishpans in the sink.
Do not leave standing solutions of chlorine bleach and water in the sink for extended periods of time.
Always rinse the sink after using such solution.
Do not allow liquid soap or other cleansers to dry on the surface of the sink.
