1. Confirm the sink is stainless steel and read care instructions for its brushed, matte, mirror or coated finish.
2. Rinse away food scraps, salt, vinegar and citrus residues promptly after use.
3. Clean gently with mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth along the metal grain.
4. Rinse all cleaner away and dry the bowl and edges thoroughly with soft microfiber.
5. Avoid steel wool, wire brushes, harsh abrasives and chlorine bleach. Never mix cleaning chemicals.
6. For persistent water marks or brown spots, check the maker's approved cleaner rather than improvising a strong chemical treatment.
