Sinks (cont.)
Fireclay
• General cleaning: use soapy water or vinegar-based cleaner and a sponge and towel dry.
• Water marks: wipe with damp cloth and towel dry.
• Difficult stains: use a 50/50 water/bleach solution or non-abrasive cleaners (follow cleaner manufacturer’s instructions),
rinse and towel dry.
• Do not use strong chemicals such as paint removers or oven cleaners, straight or undiluted bleach solution, abrasive cleaning
products, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic solutions containing ammonia or alkalis.
• Do not set hot pans directly into sink.
• Run cold water when pouring boiling water into sink.
Faucets
• Simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and blot dry with a soft towel.
• Avoid build-up of soap or mineral deposits, as these tend to have an adverse effect on the appearance of the product.
• NEVER use cleaning products of any kind on this product—especially those containing ammonia, bleach or alcohol—or
those with any form of abrasive.
Accessories
• Elkay colanders, cutting boards, rinsing baskets and bottom grids are not designed as “Dishwasher Safe” or “Microwave Safe”.
These products should be hand washed in a mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly and hand dried.
• For wood cutting boards – apply a coat of mineral oil to all wood surfaces on a monthly basis or
more frequently if needed.
• The following are recommendations from the USDA regarding cutting boards:
- Always use a clean cutting board.
- If possible, use one cutting board for fresh produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry,
and seafood.
- Once cutting boards become excessively worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves, you should replace them.
