Maintenance Tips

• Daily cleaning: Wash with warm water + mild dish soap, then dry with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
• Avoid abrasives: Do not use steel wool, bleach, ammonia, or harsh scouring pads—these damage the finish.
• Rinse after use: Especially after acidic foods (lemon, vinegar, tomato) to prevent surface marks.
• Dry after cleaning: Helps maintain the satin stainless look and reduces mineral buildup.
• Use sink grid (if included): Protects the base from scratches caused by pots and pans.
• Clean corners weekly: Zero-radius edges look modern but can trap debris—use a soft brush for buildup.
• Prevent standing water: Don’t leave wet sponges, rubber mats, or metal items sitting long-term to avoid spotting or discoloration.
