Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Wipe the tabletop, backsplash, legs, and undershelf with warm water and a mild, food-safe detergent using a soft cloth or sponge, following the grain of the stainless steel.
-
Rinse and dry thoroughly: Remove all soap residue and dry completely to prevent water spots, mineral buildup, and corrosion.
-
Sanitize when needed: Apply a food-safe sanitizer after cleaning, especially if used for raw food prep, then rinse and dry.
-
Avoid abrasive tools and harsh chemicals: Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, scouring pads, bleach, or chlorine-based cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the surface.
-
Use cutting boards or heat mats: Protect the surface from scratches, dents, and heat damage by placing boards or trivets under hot or heavy items.
-
Handle spills promptly: Wipe up acidic or staining substances such as tomato sauce or citrus juice immediately to prevent etching or discoloration.
-
Inspect and deep clean periodically: Check welds, joints, legs, and undershelf for wear or corrosion, and use a gentle non-abrasive cleaner for stubborn residue or grease buildup.
