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 aected 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 o 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. The sink may be cleaned with a dilute bleach solution.
• 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 coee
or red wine. If this occurs, we recommend use of a mild limescale
remover.
