How to clean a stainless steel sink

Many families choose stainless steel kitchen cabinets when decorating their kitchens. Stainless steel is one of the materials with the best performance and is widely used in industry and home. Its chromium film has excellent anti-rust and corrosion resistance. If this chromium film is properly maintained, it can provide many years of protection for stainless steel kitchen cabinets. Since dirt will damage the chrome film, stainless steel kitchen cabinets must be cleaned and maintained regularly, especially sinks. Once blocked, their surface may become rusty.

1. How to clean a stainless steel sink

Materials and tools needed: dishwashing liquid, distilled white vinegar, baking soda, lemon or lime, rag, toothbrush, nylon sponge.

Steps:

1. Start by thoroughly rinsing the sink. The salt and acid in food can damage the coating on the stainless steel surface, so rinse it after daily use to prevent corrosion.

2. Next, moisten the surface of the stainless steel, sprinkle it with baking soda, and then apply the baking soda everywhere to form a paste, scrub the bottom and surrounding areas, and rinse clean.

3. In order to clean the grooves and crevices in the sink, as well as the joints between the top and the countertop, you can use a soft toothbrush dipped in baking soda to gently brush, rinse, and brush again until these details are clean.

4. After cleaning the surface and details, place a layer of paper towels soaked in white vinegar in the sink. After leaving it like this for 20 minutes, remove the paper towel and discard it.

5. Next, clean the sink again with a nylon sponge soaked in soapy water and then rinse it with water.

6. Cut the lemon or lime in half, place it in the drain and rinse it with water. In addition to cleaning the sewer, this also provides a fresh fragrance.

7. For faucets, just wipe them with neutral mild soapy water. For those places that are difficult to reach with fingers and rags, you can use a brush to help again. If there are spots, you can remove them with a rag dipped in white vinegar.

8. When all cleaning is completed, rinse the sink thoroughly with water again and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

2. Cleaning and maintenance of stainless steel sinks

1. Clean the sink frequently. When not in use, keep it dry at room temperature. Do not allow water droplets to remain on the surface. Water with a high iron content may cause a reddish-brown stain to form on the surface. Do not leave mild steel or cast iron cookware in the sink for long periods of time.

2. If photographic chemicals or molten solder accidentally drop into the sink, rinse them immediately with water. Minimize the use of silver detergents or other cleaning products containing sulfur or hydrochloric acid.

3. Do not place tools or other rusty objects made of mild steel, metal or solid materials in or on the sink during installation or interior decoration. Abnormal usage, incorrect cleaning habits and impure water quality can all cause damage to the sink. Should you use coarse sand when cleaning the sink?
