Maintenance Tips
-
Rinse after every use to prevent detergent residue, lint, and mineral buildup on the stainless steel surface.
-
Clean daily with mild dish soap + soft cloth—avoid bleach, ammonia, or abrasive pads that can damage the 16-gauge finish.
-
Dry after cleaning to reduce water spots and maintain a clean satin look.
-
Use included bottom grid always to prevent scratches from buckets, tools, or heavy laundry items.
-
Clean workstation accessories separately (cutting board, roll-up rack, drain cover) to prevent buildup and odors.
-
Avoid standing water or harsh chemicals (especially drain cleaners) to protect both sink and plumbing.
-
Rinse after contact with detergents or cleaning agents to preserve corrosion resistance.
-
Occasionally descale with diluted vinegar to remove hard water marks and restore shine.
-
Check undermount edges and silicone seals periodically to prevent moisture trapping under the countertop.
-
Never use steel wool or abrasive scrubs—they permanently scratch stainless steel.
