Use and Care Manual

Stainless Steel Sink Care

Suggested Maintenance

For stains or light scratches, we suggest a mildly aggressive cleaner such as Shiny Sinks Plus

or Fltz

. You can also try a paste

of baking soda and water (be sure to rinse well and dry).

For Stubborn strains and more noceable scratches, we suggest a more aggressive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend

Zud

, Lawrence Right Work, Ajax

, Comet

, Maas

or Never-Dull

. For extremely stubborn stains you may also try to use

a Scotch-Brite

Pad.

When using any of these cleaners, it is crical that you rub in the direcon of the grain lines of the sink, rinse completely and

towel dry.

RECOMMENDED CLEANERS

 Rinse thoroughly aer each use. Most soaps and detergents contain chlorides that are harsh on stainless Steel. The good

news is that chlorides are highly water soluble so a thorough rinsing of your sink aer each use and weekly cleaning will

keep your sink looking bright and shiny.

 Towel dry aer each use to prevent mineral deposits from building upon the surface of the sink. Water quality can aect

the appearance of your sink. Towel drying and weekly cleaning will prevent discoloraon or unsightly lm from developing

on the nish.

 Clean the sink once a week. Be sure to rub in the direcon of the san nish lines, using a IPT recommended cleanser.

 Always use the IPT Sink boom grid to protect your sink’s nish.

 For a gleaming nish: Polish your stainless steel sink by applying dry our to the surface. Rub the our in with a so cloth,

and then rinse and dry. Or place the stopper in your sink, pour some club soda in and rub with a so cloth. Dry with a

dierent so cloth to prevent water spots and surface rust.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE

 Don’t rub the sink across the san nish lines. Scouring across the san nish lines can damage the original sink nish.

 Don’t allow soap or other household cleansers to dry on the surface of the sink. Most brands contain chemical addives

which will aect the original nish.

 Don’t use soluons of chlorine bleach and water in the sink, Chlorides, which are found in most soaps, detergents,

bleaches, and cleansers, are very aggressive to stainless steel. If le on the sink too long they can cause surface ping.

 Don’t use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. If a more abrasive product is needed, use a green Scotch-Brite

pad being

sure to rub in the direcon of the san nish lines. Steel wool pads have a tendency to break apart and small parcles of

steel can become embedded in the surface of the sink, The steel parcles will rust and will give the appearance that the

sink itself is rusng.

 Don’t use rubber mats or dishpans in the sink. Leaving rubber mats or dishpans in the sink can lead to surface rust or

possible ping. However, if you insist on using mats or dishpans, please remove them aer each use and rinse

thoroughly.

 Don’t leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the sink. This can lead to surface rust.
