Note: Over time, your sink will form a patina. This is a natural finish. High-lustre sinks (ScotchBrite or Microbrush finishes) may not return to their original shine after reconditioning, but will develop a slightly softer look.
QUICK TIPS FOR DAILY CLEANING
- Wipe down with warm water, dish soap, and a soft cloth
- Weekly: scrub corners and drain area with a mild cleanser & soft pad
- Rinse with hot water to remove soap and bacteria
- Dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots
- Do not use steel wool or carbon steel brushes (can cause rust)
- Avoid oily or greasy cloths
THINGS TO AVOID:
- Leaving soaps, sponges, or rags to dry on the sink
- Steel wool pads or harsh abrasives
- Leaving cast iron or steel cookware in the sink for long periods
- Rubber mats or wet pads left sitting inside the sink
- Using the sink as a cutting board
- For tough stains, use a ScotchBrite pad and rub in the direction of the grain.
DISCOLOURATION AND STAINING
Most stains come from deposits on the surface, not damage to the steel.
- Rainbow Effect → caused by water film buildup
- Brown Rust Spots → from tiny iron particles (e.g. steel wool, old pipes)
To remove: Apply stainless sink cleaner or cream cleaner, rub with a damp cloth along the grain, rinse, and dry.
CAUTION: PRODUCTS TO AVOID
- Bleach / Hypochlorites → cause pitting and staining (never use undiluted)
- Silver Dip Cleaners → contain strong acids, cause rainbow stains and dullness
- Corrosive Foodstuffs → salt, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, fruit juice (rinse after contact)
- Strong Acids → sulphuric, hydrochloric, or photographic liquids can permanently damage the surface
With regular cleaning, rinsing, and drying, your stainless sink will stay beautiful, hygienic, and long-lasting.
