We advise to wipe dry with a clean cloth and always wipe and rub the sink along the steel grain when cleaning. If necessary, wipe clean with a soft cloth dampened in water and a mild non-abrasive washing-up detergent or soap.
Do not use scouring-powder, steel wool, hard or sharp tools which can scratch the stainless steel surface.
