Use and Care Hints

Satin Finish

Regular cleaning is important to maintain the appearance of your Elkay sink.

Easy Cleaning Instructions

Rinsing is the most important part of sink care. An Elkay stainless steel
sink finish will retain its original bright appearance if the sink is rinsed
thoroughly after each use. “Thorough” rinsing can be done by running the
water throughout the sink for a few minutes after each use. Typically, a
rinse and towel drying after each use takes care of most everyday clean
ups.

Recommendations for Proper Maintenance

• Do...Use only a mild liq uid dishw ashing det ergent with a soft
sponge to clean and then thor oughly rinse the sink.

• Do... Rinse thoroughly after each use. “Thorough” rinsing can be done
by running water for a few minutes and rubbing the cleaned a
sponge.

• Do... Towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from build-
ing up on the surface of the sink.

• Do Not...Allow liquid soap or other household cleansers to dry on the sur-
face of the sink. Most brands contain chemical additives which will
affect t he original finish.

• Do Not...Use solutions of chlorine bleach and water in the sink.
Chlorides, which are found in most soaps, detergents, bleaches, and
cleansers, are very aggressive to stainless steel. If left on the sink too
long they can cause surface pitting.

• Do Not...Use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. Steel wool pads have
a tendency to br eak apart and small particles of steel can beco me
embedded in t he surface of the sink. The steel particles will rust and will
give the appearance that the sink itself is rusting.

• Do Not...Use abrasive cleansers or abrasive pads as it will scratch the
surface.

o Not...Leave wet spo nges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the sink. This

• D

can lead to surface rust.

Following these recommendations for the care and cleaning of your
stainless steel sink will insure that it will pr ovide you with many years of
service.

Chlorides

Today, chlorides are found in most all soap, detergents, bleaches and
cleansers; chlorides can be oppressive to stainless steel. However, chlo­rides are very water soluable. Therefore, THOROUGH RINSING of your
sink after each use to remove any chloride residue and a weekly scouring
is all that is required to keep your sink looking bright and shiny.

Water Quality

The quality of your water can affect your sink’s appearance. If your water

of minerals, or with over-softened water, a white film may develop on the
sink. To combat th ese problems, we suggest that the sink be towel dried

Discoloration, Rust and Possible Pitting

Wet sponges, cloths, cleaning pads and rubber mats left on the sink can
lead to discoloration. Steel wool pads should never be used to clean your
sink as they leave small iron particles in the grain lines which rust and can

Liquid Soap

Do not allow concentrated liquid deter gent to dry on your sink. Most

Spotting

The quality of your water can affect your sink’s appearance. In areas with
hard water, a brown surface stain can form on t he sink giving the appear­ance of rust. This phenomena also occurs in water with high iron content.
Additionally, in areas with a high concentration of minerals, or with over­softened water, a white film may develop on the sink. To combat this
problem, we suggest that the sink be towel d ried after use.

Foods

Heavy salt concentration or foods containing high levels of salt should
not be allowed to dry onto the sink surface. Rinse your sink thoroughly
after use.
