Maintaining Your Stainless Steel Worktop and Sink
To ensure your stainless steel worktop and sink remain in excellent condition for decades, please follow these essential care instructions:
-
Initial Cleaning
Before first use, thoroughly wash the surface with an alkaline detergent (pH over 8). Rinse well and dry completely.
Note: Installation may leave impurities on the surface. Removing these will allow the chromium in stainless steel to react with oxygen, forming a protective passive layer. -
Daily Maintenance
After each use, clean the surface with a soft cloth, sponge, or towel using warm water and a liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth. -
Stain Removal Guidelines
For tough stains, including grease, discoloration from coffee or tea, salt and lime marks, and rust stains, follow these steps:- Use a cleaning paste with a pH over 8 (e.g., Cif Cream or Universal Stone) along with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Apply the detergent, allow it to sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water and dry.
- For dried lime stains, a 25% vinegar solution can be effective. Let it sit briefly before cleaning, rinsing, and drying the surface.
Avoid the Following
To maintain the integrity of your stainless steel:- Refrain from using acidic substances, such as kitchen soaps containing citric acid (pH under 6), as they can damage the surface.
- Avoid scouring powders and steel wool, which may scratch the finish.
- Do not leave wet cast iron pans or other rust-prone metallic utensils on the surface for extended periods, as they may leave marks.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity and appearance of your stainless steel worktop and sink.
