Sink don'ts
All the items below are known to have a corrosive effect on stainless steel, to ensure your products lasts beyond its

. Spray cleaners (irrespective of the label claims)
. Photographic developing solutions.
. Sterilising solution (eg. Milton).
. Alcohols, beer and wine etc.
. Bleach - diluted or neat, especially do not soak
items in the bowl for any period.
. Fruit juice.
. Abrasive cloths and creams.
. Soaps with antibacterial content.
. DIY related products and chemicals.
. Coffee.
. Milk.
. Soldering flux.
. Salt or high salt content foodstuffs.
. Mustard, mayonnaise & pickles.
. Oven cleaners
. Drain cleaning products containing hydrochloric
or sulphuric acid.
. Steel wool pad (eg. Brillo), note if you use these
to clean cookware all small broken 'hairs' should
be flushed from the sink.
. Silver dip cleaners.
. Leaving any wet cloths or sponges on the
surface for prolonged periods.
. Leaving any iron or mild or carbon steel based
metal (cookware or cleaning pads) in contact
with the surface, rust will transfer to the stainless
steel.
. Do not plastic a plastic bowl in the sink, dirt and
grit will become engrained in the bottom of the
plastic bowl and scratch the sink.
Sink do's
. Clean regularly with hot soapy water and a soft cloth this is much easier and more preferable to the sink
finish than infrequent 'heavy' cleaning.
. Abode Stainless steel cleaner.
. Micro fibre cloths (eg. E-cloth).
. A 50% mix of water and white vinegar can be used to remove limescale deposits, ensure to rinse thoroughly after
use, do not leave the vinegar in contact with the surface. A nylon scratch pad and toothbrush can be used on
difficult areas. Dry the sink after use to delay future build up.
. Always rinse the sink with water after cleaning or preparing foodstuffs.
. Always clean the sink 'along the grain' of the scratch pattern.
'Deep Cleaning'
It should be noted that if the above advice has been followed then 'deep cleaning' should not be necessary. 'deep
cleaning' should be seen as a last option after trying the above cleaning advice, repeatedly using these methods will
alter the appearance of the sink and reduce its lifespan. You should start with the (first) least aggressive method.
1. Absorb as much contaminate as possible with kitchen roll, rinse with lots of hot water.
2. 'Shiny sinks' or 'Cif' cleaner with a soft wet cloth in the direction of the grain.
3. Fine stainless steel scourers used in the direction of the grain.
If you are removing any form of corrosion due to accidental misuse you should ensure that all the corrosion is removed,
you should always rinse the sink thoroughly afterwards.
