DRAIN ASSEMBLIES

GENERAL CLEANING

The humble drain assembly is actually a major part of

keeping your kitchen sink clean, ensuring that every-

thing functions properly by keeping the drainpipe free

of debris.

To keep your sink drain looking its best, periodically

clean the drain assembly and strainer with water and a

mild liquid soap detergent, making sure to rinse thor-

oughly and dry with a microﬁber cloth to maximize luster.

To prevent discoloration, always rinse and wipe the

drain and bottom of your sink when you’re done using

it, and avoid leaving staining substances like coee and

teabags in the sink or on the drain assembly.

DEEP CLEANING

Between food debris, hard water stains, and gener-

al gunk from dishwashing and other kitchen tasks,

your drain assembly and strainer may need a deeper

cleaning. If food particles have collected in the open-

ings of the strainer, pick the debris out with a fork and

then wipe down the strainer and sides of the drain

assembly with a mild detergent that has grease-cutting

properties. To get your stainless steel drain assembly

sparkling clean, use lemon juice and a paste made

from baking soda and water to scrub, then rinse thor-

oughly with warm water and dry with a microﬁber cloth.

If stains remain, you can soak a paper towel in dis-

tilled white vinegar, then lay the paper towel over the

stained area and let it sit for 20 minutes.

THINGS TO AVOID

• DO NOT place items or substances that can cause

stains, such as tea bags or coee, into the bottom of

your sink or directly onto the drain assembly
