Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your stainless steel sink.

ക്ലീനിംഗ് നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ:

• പ്രതിദിന ശുചീകരണം: After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with a soft, clean cloth. This prevents water spots and mineral buildup.
• പൊതുവായ ശുചീകരണം: Use a mild liquid dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth for routine cleaning. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
• ഉരച്ചിലുകൾ ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• രാസവസ്തുക്കൾ: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or cleaners containing chlorides, as these can damage the finish.
• ശാഠ്യമുള്ള പാടുകൾ: For more stubborn stains, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions. Always rinse thoroughly and dry.

6. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

നിങ്ങളുടെ അടുക്കള സിങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾ നേരിട്ടേക്കാവുന്ന പൊതുവായ പ്രശ്നങ്ങളെയാണ് ഈ വിഭാഗം അഭിസംബോധന ചെയ്യുന്നത്.

പൊതുവായ പ്രശ്നങ്ങളും പരിഹാരങ്ങളും:

• ജലപ്പാടുകൾ/ധാതുക്കളുടെ അടിഞ്ഞുകൂടൽ: Regularly dry the sink after use. For existing spots, use a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry.
• മന്ദഗതിയിലുള്ള ഡ്രെയിനേജ്: Check the drain for food particles or debris. If the issue persists, the P-trap or plumbing may require cleaning or professional attention.
• ചെറിയ പോറലുകൾ: Stainless steel can scratch. Minor scratches can sometimes be blended with a fine-grit abrasive pad (like Scotch-Brite) by rubbing gently in the direction of the grain. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
• Leaking Around Rim or Drains: This often indicates an improper seal during installation. For rim leaks, the sink may need to be re-sealed. For drain leaks, check the tightness of the drain assembly nuts and ensure plumber's putty or sealant is properly applied.
• Bent or Damaged Sink: If the sink arrived with significant damage or a bent component, contact the retailer or manufacturer immediately for assistance.
