Preventing discolouration and marks

3 things to avoid:

The discoloured patches you sometimes see on stainless steel are called a ‘rainbow effect’. They’re caused by water-borne deposits left clinging to the surface, never from the steel itself. To avoid watermarks and rust spots, always remove wet cleaning cloths and containers from the sink after use.

• Never use plastic bowls for washing up, as these cause heavy localised scratching.
• Avoid leaving salt, vinegar, citric fruit juices, mustard or pickles on the surface for any length of time, as they can cause corrosion.
• Please don’t use bleach, scourers, wire wool pads or abrasive cleaners on the sink.
