Avoid these mistakes when cleaning Dark Steel
To maintain the high-quality look of your Dark Steel sink, you should avoid using some cleaning products and utensils when cleaning:
- Avoid all acidic cleaners such as vinegar or lemon cleaners. Cleaners that contain hydrochloric acid or chlorine also damage stainless steel
- Do not use steel wool or scratchy pot sponges
- Do not use abrasive scouring agents such as scouring milk or scouring powder.
- BLANCO DeepClean Stainless Steel is also not suitable for the matt, gray surface of Dark Steel sinks due to its smoothing effect.
- Avoid using polishing agents as these can cause long-term damage to the stainless steel surface.
- Avoid prolonged contact with rusty iron parts - such as cast iron pans, as this can otherwise lead to unsightly stains.
How to properly clean sinks with a Dark Steel Look
Even if the stainless steel surface is not coated, Dark Steel sinks are very easy to clean. If you follow our cleaning and care tips, the shine of your stainless steel sink will last for a long time. All you need is detergent and water - your sink will shine again.
The daily cleaning
Instead of harsh cleaning agents,a soft sponge, dishwashing liquid and a microfiber cloth are sufficient for daily cleaning of sinks with a dark steel look. You don't need steel wool or scouring milk. Put some dishwashing liquid on the soft side of the sponge and use it to wipe the sink until it is damp. Pay particular attention to the corner radii where deposits can get stuck. The sieve basket is also often a magnet for dirt. On our service page we show you how to clean your strainer basket .
The deep cleaning
After a while, regular cleaning may no longer be enough to keep your sink sparkling. However, you should not use a polishing agent such as BLANCO DeepClean Stainless Steel for sinks with a dark steel surface. On the other hand, rely on BLANCO DailyClean+ to remove limescale and light dirt.
