Use and Care Manual

SILGRANIT II® SINK
GENERAL CARE & CLEANING:
Daily cleaning may be done with any non-abrasive cleaner (i.e. Bar keeper's friend, Soft Scrub
with Bleach, or dishwasher soap). After every use, rinse and wipe the sink dry with a clean, soft
cloth to eliminate any water spots or soap film build-ups.
REMOVING STAINS AND MINOR SCUFF MARKS:
Normal Stains ~ for stains, please use a mild abrasive cleanser, along with a soft scouring pad.
Stubborn Stains ~ A solution of 50% bleach, 50% water should only be used for tough, stubborn
stains. Let the solution sit in the bottom of the sink for one hour; then scrub. Rinse well. Also,
the use of BAR KEEPERS FRIEND (directions included on bottle or can) will help remove
stubborn stains. (NOTE: with Anthracite or Café Brown, sink must be rinsed thoroughly with hot
water).
LUSTER:
BLANCOCLEAN can be used to help bring back the luster. Follow the directions on the bottle.
Mineral oil applied with a damp cloth can also be used to restore the luster. We do not
recommend using BLANCO CLEAN on dark colored Silgranit II sinks.
MISCELLANEOUS:
To remove Calcium Deposits (a white ring around the bottom of your sink): use LIME AWAY or
CLR cleaner To remove Adhesive Labels: use Acetone (nail polish remover)
Note: Always test any stain removers in a small, non-visible location

1) Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scrub pads, such as Steel wool
2) Straight bleach
3) Commercial alkalis, such as ammonia and/or caustic solutions
