How to Clean a Sink Drain and Care for Your Stainless Steel Sink

How to clean a sink drain

1. Remove any visible food debris or items from the strainer.
2. Rinse the drain with warm water.
3. Use mild dish soap and a soft brush or cloth around the drain opening.
4. Rinse again and dry the surrounding sink surface with a clean cloth.

If drainage remains slow, check the product instructions and your installation before using any drain treatment. Contact support if you need help identifying a compatible part or next step.

Stainless steel sink care

After each use, rinse the sink and dry it with a clean towel to help reduce water spots and mineral buildup. For routine cleaning, use water, mild liquid soap, and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.

Things to avoid

• Do not leave low-carbon steel or iron cookware in the sink.
• Do not use coarse abrasive powders, steel wool, or metal-bristle brushes.
• Do not leave chlorine bleach solutions standing in the sink.
• Do not let soap or cleaners dry on the sink surface.
• Do not leave high-salt food residue on the surface for long periods.

Kitchen faucets

Wipe the faucet with a soft cloth after use. When trying a new cleaner, test it on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the cleaner off with water, then dry the faucet with a microfiber cloth.

• Do not use cleaners that contain abrasive powder, bleach, or chlorine.
• Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire brushes on faucet surfaces.
