Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your KRAUS Kore Workstation Sink.

6.1 Cleaning the Sink

• Daaglikse skoonmaak: Vee die wasbak na elke gebruik met 'n droë lap af om waterkolle en mineraalopbou te voorkom.
• Algemene skoonmaak: Use a mild soap or stainless steel cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface.
• Hardnekkige vlekke: For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed thoroughly.
• Roesvoorkoming: Although stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, prolonged contact with iron-containing materials (e.g., cast iron pans, steel wool) can cause surface rust. Remove promptly with a non-abrasive cleaner.

6.2 Care for Accessories

• Onderste Rooster: The stainless steel bottom grid is dishwasher-safe. Regularly clean it to prevent food buildup.
• Acacia Cutting Board: Hand wash with mild soap and water. Do not soak. Periodically apply food-grade mineral oil to maintain its finish and prevent drying/cracking.
• Colander: The stainless steel colander is dishwasher-safe.
