Care and Cleaning Guide

GENERAL CLEANING
To maintain the beautiful luster of the stainless steel,
Kraus recommends cleaning your sink once a week
using water and a mild liquid soap detergent (ammo-
nia-free). Apply the cleaner with a soft sponge, thorough-
ly rinse with lukewarm water, and pat dry with a microfi-
ber cleaning cloth.
HARD WATER SOLUTIONS & DEEP CLEANING
If hard water deposits build up over time, we recom-
mend using vinegar to neutralize the minerals and
remove the deposits. Use a soft dishcloth saturated
with vinegar to gently rub the sink surface, then rinse
with water and towel dry.
MAXIMUM SURFACE PROTECTION
Kraus stainless steel bottom grids are designed to
protect the finish on the bottom of the sink bowl. These
grids are included with most Kraus stainless steel sink
models. If you need a replacement grid, our customer
service team will be happy to help! P 800-775-0703 | E

SURFACE SCRATCHES
Surface scratches resulting from normal use are com-
mon in stainless steel sinks. Over time, with proper
cleaning, they will fade away and blend into the overall
finish of your sink. Most minor scratches can be softened
with a fine (white) 3M Scotch Brite pad, or 3M Scotch

THINGS TO AVOID
• DO NOT use cleaners containing any abrasive pow-
ders, bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or chlorine
• DO NOT use any abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire
brushes when cleaning the sink (use non-scratch clean-
ing pads ONLY)
• DO NOT use cleaners containing chloride or chlorine.
If these ingredients come in contact with the sink,
minimize any potential damage by rinsing the sink sur-
face immediately to prevent corrosion and permanent
damage
