Use and Care Manual

Recommended Use & Care
We Recommend:
• The best form of maintenance is regular and frequent cleaning. We think you will nd it easier
to maintain the pristine appearance of your sink with regular cleaning rather than dealing with
major cleanups on a sporadic basis.
• The practice of regular cleaning is particularly important in locations with water that has a high
mineral content.
• Should mineral deposits build up over time, we recommend using vinegar to neutralize the
calcium deposits. Use a soft dishcloth saturated with vinegar to scrub the sink surface, then rinse
with water and towel dry.
• Always use the mildest procedure possible to clean your sink. Please avoid using any abrasive
cleaners, scrubbing pads, or wipes, as this may damage and/or wear down the sink surface.
• Unfortunately, stainless steel will scratch over time. This is inherent to the material; you will see
evidence of this wear condition on the surface of other kitchen items, such as cutlery, and pots
& pans. For this reason, we recommend that you use the mildest form of cleaner available. Please
use a non-abrasive cleaning soap (e.g. liquid dishwasher detergent) with a soft cloth to clean the
surface of the sink.
• Any cleaning or scrubbing to remove stubborn stains should always follow the grain or polish
lines in the sink. Please be aware that scrubbing across the grain may lead to scratching.
• If you nd a need to use a more aggressive approach for treating stubborn stains, we
recommend the following products:
• Kraus stainless steel bottom grids are designed to protect the nish 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!
