Maintenance Tips
-
Clean daily with mild soap + soft sponge – Keeps the 16-gauge stainless steel surface hygienic and prevents buildup.
-
Rinse and dry after use – Prevents water spots, mineral stains, and keeps the satin finish looking new.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals & abrasives – No bleach, ammonia, or steel wool; these can damage the TRU16 stainless steel finish.
-
Use a bottom grid – Protects against scratches from buckets, tools, and heavy laundry loads.
-
Wipe in the direction of the grain – Helps maintain a uniform brushed appearance and reduces visible streaks.
-
Clean drain and strainer regularly – Prevents clogging from lint, debris, and laundry residue.
-
Check for mineral buildup – Occasional vinegar rinse (followed by clean water) helps remove hard water deposits.
-
Prevent standing water – The sloped base helps drainage, but always empty pooled water to avoid spotting or odor.
-
Inspect mounting edges (topmount use) – Wipe around the rim to prevent grime buildup where sink meets countertop.
