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. Typic
rinse and towel drying after each use takes care of most everyday clean
ups. For everyday cleaning we recommend using Elkay’s Stainless Butler
Stainless Steel Cleaner + Polisher. The non-abrasive formula is safe and
effective for day to day cleaning. Your sink will shine like new!
Recommendations for Proper Maintenance
• Do...Use only a mild liquid d ishw ashing detergent w ith a so ft

• Do... Rinse thoroughly after each use. “ Thorough” rinsing can be done
by running water for a few minutes and rubb ing the cleaned area with a
sponge.
• Do... Tow el 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

• Do Not...Use solutions of c hlorine b leach 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 break apart and
embedded in the 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 scratc h the
surface.
• Do Not...Leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the sink. This
can lead to surface rust.
Following these recommendations for the care and cleaning of y
stainless steel sink will insure that it will provide you with many years of
service.

Chlorides
Today, c hlorides 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
has a high iron content, a brown surface stain can form on the sink giving
the appearance of rust. Additionally, in areas with a high concentration
of minerals, or with over-softened water, a white film may develop on the
sink. To combat these problems, we suggest that t

Discoloration, Rust and Possible Pitting
Wet sp onges, cloths, cleaning p ads and rub ber mats left on t he 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
damage the sink. Continued usage in t his manner may eventually lead to
the sink itself rusting and pitting.
Liquid Soap
Do not allow concentrated liquid detergent to dry on your sink. Most
brands c ontain chemical additives which will affect the original finish.
Spotting
The quality of your water can affect your sink’s appearance. In areas with
hard water, a brown surface stain can form on the sink giving the appearance of rust. This phenomena also occurs in water with high iron content.
