Caring for Stainless Steel

  • Clean your stainless steel sink and countertop frequently with warm water, soap, or streak free Windex using a sponge or soft cloth. Thoroughly rinse with water, and wipe dry with a soft cloth to eliminate the possibility of water stains.


  • We discourage the use of household cleaning agents that contain chlorides such as Chlorine bleach or acids. These products can stain and corrode the surface of stainless steel and should not be used.


  • Never allow acidic foods to lay in a sink or on a countertop for long periods of time as the acid will stain the surface.


  • Always use non-abrasive type pads, a sponge or soft cloth when cleaning stainless steel, as steel wool pads can leave steel particles on the surface and quickly form rust deposits. This will also leave unsightly scratches on your surface.


  • When cleaning or wiping a sink or countertop with a soft cloth or mild cleaner, always rub in the same direction as the grain to avoid cross scratching.
