Maintenance Tips

• Clean daily with mild dish soap + soft sponge – Keeps the ultra-smooth porcelain enamel surface bright and hygienic.
• Rinse and dry after each use – Prevents water spots, mineral marks, and keeps the white finish looking clean longer.
• Avoid harsh chemicals – No bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners; they can dull or damage the enamel coating.
• Do not use abrasive pads or steel wool – These can scratch or permanently mark the enamel surface.
• Clean stains early (coffee, tea, food dye) – White enamel shows stains faster, so wipe spills quickly.
• Use a sink grid or mat – Protects against chips and impact from heavy pots or utensils.
• Avoid dropping heavy items – Although chip-resistant, enamel can still crack under strong impact.
• Occasional gentle deep clean – Use baking soda paste or a non-abrasive cleaner for tougher marks.
• Prevent standing water – Helps avoid mineral rings and keeps the glossy finish uniform.
