Suggestions for the Care and Cleaning of Transolid® Stainless Steel Sinks When it comes to maintenance, Transolid® recommends to be consistent in your cleaning. It is better to clean on a more frequent basis and avoid the need for heavy duty cleaning. Make sure your sink is clean and dry when not in use. This is the best method of preventive maintenance. Keep the sink water spot free and shiny by rinsing and towel drying after every use.
