CARE AND MAINTENANCEONE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The non-porous surfaces of our sinks allow for quick cleaning using a normal liquid detergent and simple azione with a soft cloth or sponge. The sink will always look fresh, clean and hygienic. We recommend regular daily cleaning to instantly remove food residue stains and halos caused by limescale.
EXTRAORDINARY CARE AND MAINTENANCE
? LIGHT-COLOURED SINKS: For organic or other particularly stubborn stains, it is recommended to leave a solution of organic detergent or bleach well diluted in lukewarm water on the bottom of the sink for about 8 hours (it is recommended to do this during the night). In the morning rinse with lukewarm water and a microfibre cloth. If the stains persist, repeat the operation one several times.
? DARK COLOURED SINKS: For organic or other particularly stubborn stains, we recommend leaving a solution of dishwasher detergent or bicarbonate of soda well diluted in lukewarm water at the bottom of the sink for about 8 hours (we recommend doing this at night). In the morning rinse with lukewarm water and a microfibre cloth. If the stains persist, repeat the operation one several times.
LIMESCALE
To prevent the formation of limescale stains and halos, we recommend a descaling treatment at least once a week. To remove limescale, which is very visible in dark coloured sinks, we recommend the following procedure:
1) Leave a solution of lukewarm water and normal cooking vinegar or specific descaling products to act on the bottom of the basin for a few hours.
2) Use a non-abrasive sponge to remove limescale and dirt completely.
3) Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a microfibre cloth.
WARNINGS AND PRACTICAL ADVICE
? Avoid placing hot pans or other hot bodies above 300 ยฐC / 572 ยฐF (WARNINGONE! The bottom of a pan just off the heat reaches temperatures of over 600 ยฐC). Pots or very hot objects must absolutely be placed on suitable trivets (made of wood, rubber, etc.).
? Avoid excessive thermal shocks caused by the simultaneous azione of very hot and very cold bodies.
? Do not cut or chop food directly on the sink; it is advisable to use an iroko or polyethylene chopping board, which can be purchased in combination with the sink.
? Do not use aggressive detergents and liquids, abrasive and highly alkaline substances, acids.Do not pour alcohol, petrol, trichloroethylene, acetone and solvents in general into the sink as they can attack the chemical structure of the sink irreparably.
? Do not remove dirt or stains with steel or abrasive sponges. They could damage the surface.
? Avoid accidental impacts of heavy or sharp objects that could damage the sink surface.
