Elkay Sinks, Faucets and Accessories Care and Cleaning Stainless Steel Sink • General cleaning: use an ordinary mild detergent and soft cloth, rinse and towel dry. • Steel soap pads should never be used; particles can adhere to a stainless steel sink surface and will eventually rust. • Light scratches are normal for stainless steel sinks; over time they will blend into the uniform finish pattern. • Do not use dish mats as these can trap soap and dirt making sink maintenance more time-consuming.
