1. Frequently asked questions about stainless steel kitchen sink
Will the stainless steel kitchen sink rust?
Rust at the bottom of the sink: it is not a quality problem. In most cases the metal impurities left in the water pipe of a newly decorated house accumulate at the bottom of the sink, which causes this problem. You can clean the sink with toothpaste or talcum powder. The rust will disappear after normal use.
Attention: please don't disinfect the stainless steel sink with concentrated disinfectant, which can easily destroy the stainless steel surface. For ordinary daily abration, our sink will not rust as long as you clean it frequently.
Why do stains appear on the sink surface?
Generally these stains are alkaline deposits, which will possibly occur because of the hardness of the drinking water(local tap water supplier can provide these kinds of information). Those alkaline deposits, containing a large number of dirt particles, can form ugly stains in a short time.
Iron molecules and rusty spots in water pipes will cause the stains of the sink as well, especially for those houses which have just been furnished or renovated.
How to prevent the stains?
The best way to prevent these stains is to dry the sink immediately after use. If the stains have already formed on the surface, any kind of stainless steel sink detergent can be used to get rid of them.
