  1. Gather your supplies: You’ll need a sponge or cleaning cloth, a cleaning solution (dish soap and water or white vinegar and water), and a microfiber cloth.
  2. Remove any debris or food scraps from the sink using a sponge or a cleaning cloth.
  3. Mix a cleaning solution of your choice, using either dish soap and water or white vinegar and water.
  4. Using a sponge or a cleaning cloth, apply the cleaning solution to the sink, making sure to cover all surfaces. Scrub the sink thoroughly, paying extra attention to any stains or tough spots.
  5. Rinse the sink with water and dry it with a microfiber cloth or a clean, dry cloth.

Tips:

  • Clean your stainless steel sink regularly to avoid tough stains or discoloration.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they can scratch the surface of the sink.
  • Use a stainless steel cleaner for a polished finish.
  • Dry your sink with a microfiber cloth after cleaning to prevent water spots.
  • To remove water stains, use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, apply it with a cloth and wipe the sink dry.

Note: Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before using any cleaning solutions to ensure they are safe for your sink and won’t cause any damage. If you are unsure if a solution is safe, test it on a small inconspicuous area of the sink first.
