What can I do to prevent my sink from rusting?

Rust stains can develop over time on a stainless-steel sink due to dissolved iron in the water supply. However, with proper maintenance, they can be prevented.

Appliances

Give your appliances a little love after every use. Stick to the cleaning products mentioned in the instructions — they're recommended for a reason. And always disconnect from power before you start cleaning. Simple, safe, sorted.

Cabinets & Surfaces

We recommend drying the sink with a clean cloth after use and always wiping in the direction of the steel grain during cleaning. If needed, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild, non-abrasive dish detergent or soap.
Avoid using scouring powders, steel wool, or any hard or sharp tools, as these can scratch and damage the stainless-steel surface.

A heads-up about steam

Be mindful of steam-producing appliances like pressure cookers, electric kettles, and free-standing cooktops. Keep them away from cabinet edges — steam and wood don't make great friends.
