Maintenance Tips

• Clean daily with mild soap + soft sponge – Maintains the TRU16 stainless steel finish and prevents residue buildup.
• Dry after each use – Helps avoid water spots and mineral deposits, especially in hard water areas.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners – No steel wool, bleach, or harsh pads; these can scratch the brushed surface.
• Wipe in the direction of the grain – Keeps the satin finish uniform and reduces visible streaking.
• Use sink grid protection – Prevents scratches from heavy cookware and helps maintain the deep basin surface.
• Clean corners regularly – Rounded corners are easier to maintain but still benefit from weekly detail cleaning to prevent buildup.
• Descale occasionally – Use diluted vinegar or a stainless steel cleaner to remove mineral deposits, then rinse thoroughly.
• Flush drain weekly – Run hot water to clear debris and keep smooth drainage performance.
• Check undermount seal area – Wipe the countertop edge where sink meets stone to prevent grime buildup over time.
