CHLORIDES
Today, chlorides are found in most all
soap, detergents, bleaches and
cleansers; chlorides can be aggressive to
stainless steel. However, chlorides are
very water soluble. Therefore, THOR-
OUGH RINSING of your sink after each
use to remove any chloride residue and a
weekly cleaning is all that is required to
keep your sink looking bright and shiny.
SCRATCHES
Like many metallic surfaces, your stain-
less steel sink will scratch. These are
merely usage scratches and over time
will blend into the overall finish of your
sink with proper cleaning.
KNIVES
Your sink is designed to serve as many
things but not as a cutting board or chop-
ping block. This type of use will lead to
deep scratches in the sink finish and will
dull your knives. Elkay does offer various
cutting boards which will provide an
additional work area.
WATER QUALITY
The quality of your water can affect your
sink’s appearance. If your water has a
high iron content, a brown surface stain
can form on the sink giving the appear-
ance of rust. Additionally, in areas with
a
high concentration of minerals, or with
over-softened
water, a white film may
develop on the sink. To combat these
problems, we suggest that the sink be
towel dried after use, and again, on a
weekly basis, the sink should be cleaned
using a recommended cleanser.
FOODS
Heavy salt concentration or foods con-
taining high levels of salt should
not be
allowed to dry on the sink surface. Rinse
your sink thoroughly after use.
