Maintenance Tips
-
Clean daily with mild soap + soft sponge
Maintains the Radiant Pearl brushed finish and prevents grease or food buildup.
-
Dry after each use
Wipe with microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and mineral stains, especially in hard-water areas.

Avoid harsh chemicals & abrasives
No bleach, ammonia, or steel wool—these can damage the stainless steel surface and finish.

Coffee, citrus, vinegar, and salt can cause dull marks if left sitting too long.

Use bottom grid protection
Helps prevent scratches from heavy cookware and keeps drainage smooth and efficient.

Clean rounded corners weekly
The tight-radius design is easy to maintain—use a soft brush to prevent buildup.
-
Flush DrainAssure waterway regularly

Remove mineral deposits when needed
Use diluted vinegar or a stainless-steel-safe cleaner to restore shine safely.

Keep soundproofing pads dry
Preserves NoiseDefend performance and reduces condensation under the sink.
