Taking Care of your Sink
Your CDA sink is manufactured using material developed specifically to withstand the rigours of everyday
kitchen use. However, we advise you to follow these precautions to keep the sink in pristine condition:
• Do not use a plastic washing-up bowl in the sink as grit and other particles may become embedded in the bowl and scratch
or erode the sink surface. CDA specifically recommend the use of wire sink-baskets and drainer-racks to help protect your
sink. Take care to not cut the plastic coating on these accessories with sharp cutlery or the edges of pans, etc.
• Do not use neat bleach or other harsh cleaning agents on the metal sink waste as this may cause tarnishing. This is
especially important if the waste is of the brass/brass finish type.
• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink as they may scratch or damage the surface.
• The surface of the sink can be affected by certain chemicals e.g. neat bleach, nail polish remover, paint stripper, solvents,
brush cleaner and insecticides. If any of these substances come into contact with the sink, wipe off immediately with a dry
cloth, wash with mild detergent and rinse with water.
• Do not use abrasive liquids, powders or steel pads to clean the sink as they will damage the sink surface and make it more
susceptible to staining.
• Do not place very hot objects directly on the sink, place them on a special surface (board) made from wood or heat-proof
plastic, etc.
• In hard-water areas, a limescale deposit may build up on the sink. The limescale may become stained by coloured foods
such as coffee or red wine. If this occurs, we recommend use of a mild limescale remover.
• Particularly stubborn organic stains can be removed effectively by soaking the sink in a biological washing-powder solution.
• If the sink comes into contact with acidic materials e.g. lemon juice or vinegar, rinse immediately with plenty of water and wipe
with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not leave rusty objects in contact with the sink. Rust can cause staining, cracking or even permanent damage to
the sink surface.
• To avoid staining of the surface do not leave food or other materials with corrosive properties such as juices, salt, vinegar,
mustard etc. on the sink for a long time.
• After using the sink, rinse it clean with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water before wiping dry.
• During installation, protect from scratches, scuffs and other damage.
• Do not overtighten or strain plumbing fittings.
• The moulding and edges of the sink must be absolutely level so water flows off the drainer.
