Maintenance Tips

• Clean daily with mild soap + soft sponge
  Maintains the Radiant Pearl brushed finish and prevents grease or food buildup.
• Dry after each use
  Wipe with microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and mineral stains, especially in hard-water areas.
• Avoid harsh chemicals & abrasives
  No bleach, ammonia, or steel wool—these can damage the stainless steel surface and finish.
• Rinse acidic or salty residue quickly
  Coffee, citrus, vinegar, and salt can cause dull marks if left sitting too long.
• Use bottom grid protection
  Helps prevent scratches from heavy cookware and keeps drainage smooth and efficient.
• Clean rounded corners weekly
  The tight-radius design is easy to maintain—use a soft brush to prevent buildup.
• Flush DrainAssure waterway regularly
  Keeps water flowing freely and prevents debris accumulation in the rear drain channel.
• Remove mineral deposits when needed
  Use diluted vinegar or a stainless-steel-safe cleaner to restore shine safely.
• Keep soundproofing pads dry
  Preserves NoiseDefend performance and reduces condensation under the sink.
