The best way to decide is by knowing what choices are available and matching them with your lifestyle and budget.

Don’t forget, if you live in the Los Angeles, Ventura or Orange County area give us a call before you remodel!

Caring for your stainless steel sink

Stainless steel sinks are easy to care for. Water spots and mineral deposits can be prevented by rinsing thoroughly after each use and wiping dry with a clean, soft cloth. Non-abrasive cleaners are ideal for regular maintenance. Use vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) for a non-toxic, eco-friendly way to clean your sink.

In regards to stainless steel, most minor scratches can be softened with a Scotch Brite (soft scour) pad, accompanied with a deep cleansing agent such as Comet. Wet pad, apply cleansing agent, rub vigorously with the “grain” or finish of the sink (note: do not just rub against the grain or in one area. You must rub across the entire surface), then rinse thoroughly.
