 Care
and Cleaning Sheet
Maintaining the beauty of Stainless, the easy care
way...
Much of the beauty of stainless lies in its
long-lasting wear and enduring good looks. Follow these few simple steps,
and your stainless products from Just will retain their original beauty for
years to come.
An ounce of prevention ...
| Forget the pound of cure.
Stainless is easily kept stain-free with these simple steps: |
 |
Since most soaps and detergents contain
chlorides, Just recommends frequent rinsing of your stainless sink, preferably
after each use. |
|
Combine this simple daily treatment with
a weekly cleansing with an abrasive cleaner, ideally Bon-Ami or Zud. Unlike
porcelain sinks, durable stainless stands up strongly to abrasive cleansers.
Remember always to scrub in the direction of the polish lines so that your
efforts blend with the surface of your sink.For a less aggressive approach, try
cleaning your sink with a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse well and dry.
Regularly drying your sink works wonders to prevent water and surface rust
marks. |
|
Looking for that extra sparkle? Use
flour power to polish your sink by applying dry flour when the look you're after
is a gleaming finish. Rub the flour in with a soft cloth, and then rinse and
dry. |
|
Club soda will do the sparkle trick as
well. After placing the stopper in your sink, pour some club soda in and rub
with a soft cloth. As always, dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and
surface rust. |
|
Add some shine with a few drops of baby
oil. Wipe off with paper toweling and repeat for added shine. |
| |
Some things are best avoided: A few
DONT's for Stainless care... |
|
Don't let soap cleansers dry on the
sink's surface. Rinse regularly to keep the chlorides found in most cleansers
from affecting the natural luster of stainless. |
|
Steer clear of steel wool pads. The iron
particles that are left behind can lead to rust and corrosion. For hard-to-clean
projects, try a ScotchBrite scouring pad when the job at hand requires a little
extra effort, again in the direction of the grain. |
|
Avoid leaving steel and cast iron
cookware in your sink for extended periods of time. Iron plus moisture on top of
stainless can lead to surface rust and staining. |
|
Rubber dish mats, wet sponges and
cleaning pads are a no-no for a lengthy stay in your sink. Since they trap
water, discoloration and staining can result. |
|
Just as you don't use your cutting board
to clean the dishes, don't use your sink as a cutting board. Knives and other
sharp kitchen instruments will naturally damage the surface of your sink. |
