Troubleshooting
Sink drain is slow or clogged
Check the P-trap under the sink for obstructions. Ensure the drain stopper is clear of debris. For persistent clogs, use a drain snake or a natural drain cleaner like baking soda and vinegar.
Water spots or discoloration on the surface
Ensure the sink is dried thoroughly after each use. Use a soft cloth and a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mild solution of water and vinegar to remove spots. Always rinse and dry.
Scratches appearing on the finish
Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals. Minor scratches on brushed finishes can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized stainless steel scratch removal kit, following the product instructions carefully.
Tap (if included) is leaking
Check the connections between the tap base and the sink, and where the water lines connect to the tap. Tighten fittings as necessary. If the leak persists, the internal cartridges may need replacement.
