• Avoid harsh products: Do not use bleach, ammonia, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners—they can damage the surface and reduce finish durability.
• Rinse after use: Especially after acidic or salty foods to prevent residue buildup and maintain a clean bowl surface.
• Dry after cleaning: Prevents water spots and mineral deposits, especially in hard-water areas.
• Use accessories properly: Always use the cutting board and sink cover to protect the surface and extend countertop workspace.
• Clean drain & corners weekly: Flush debris from channel grooves and rear drain area to maintain fast, clog-free drainage.
• Avoid direct cutting in sink: Use provided accessories instead to prevent scratches and maintain a smooth finish.
