Secure the mounting brackets evenly around the perimeter, tightening them gradually in a crisscross pattern to distribute pressure equally.
Wipe the stainless steel basin dry with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spotting and maintain the brushed satin finish.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wash the basin regularly with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft sponge to remove everyday residue.
Grain Direction Always wipe and scrub stainless steel in the direction of the visible polish lines to prevent scratching the satin finish.
Mineral Deposit Removal Use a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water to gently dissolve hard water spots, then rinse thoroughly.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use chlorine bleach, steel wool, or abrasive scouring powders on the surface, as they can pit and rust the metal.
