CARE OF YOUR SILGRANIT® SINK

General Care and Cleaning:
Daily cleaning may be done with any non-abrasive cleaner (i.e. BLANCOCLEAN Composite Sink Cleaner). After every use, rinse and wipe the sink dry with a clean, soft cloth to eliminate any water spots or soap film build-ups.

Removing Stains and Minor Scuff Marks:
Normal Stains ~ For stains, please use BLANCOCLEAN, along with a soft scouring pad.
Stubborn Stains ~ A solution of 50% bleach, 50% water should only be used for tough, stubborn stains. Let the solution sit in the bottom of the sink for one hour; then scrub. Rinse well. Also, the use of Bar Keepers Friend (directions included on bottle) will help remove stubborn stains. Finally, clean with BLANCOCLEAN to put a protective coating back on the sink's surface.

Luster:
BLANCOCLEAN can be used to help bring back the luster. Follow the directions on the bottle.

Miscellaneous:
To remove Calcium Deposits (a white ring around the bottom of your sink): use LIME AWAY
To remove Adhesive Labels: use Acetone (nail polish remover)
Note: Always test non-Blanco branded stain remover in a small, non-visible location

What not to use:
1) Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scrub pads, such as Steel Wool
2) Straight bleach
3) Commercial alkalis, such as ammonia and/or caustic solutions
4) Drain blocking chemicals that involve filling the sink with water

Note: Always test non-Blanco branded stain remover in a small, non-visible location
Good luck.
