I clean mine with dish soap and use baking soda if it needs an abrasive scrub. I read that vinegar shouldn't be used on granite.

I have owned several of these exact sinks over 10 years and the only thing i have not used regularly is bleach. I use bar keepers friend to clean our sinks, and am not aware of any products to avoid. You might want to email Blanco customer service directly to be sure, but these sinks are pretty indestructible.

I used soft scrub, but we don't own the house this went into any longer, and the extent of my cleaning was for the first few months of ownership. It's a great sink though!!

I clean mine in a two-step process, which is manual, not automated. After removing the head, tap gently on the side of the sink. Then I take a can of compressed air (bought at Fry's) and spray both the base, and the head until the 'gaps' between the mesh are clear. It's a little work, but it seems to work better than the supplied brush.

Love my sink. I believe it is a granite composite material. I just wipe the sink down with dishsoap and water...then shine it up with olive or another type of oil if necessary.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

Had sink for few years. I like style and size big and deep. I live in south Florida with well water pretty harsh on sink. Have some slight white and stains but haven't tried the cleaner yet so don't know if they will clean off sorry

I use a Waste King. No problems. Love the sink. Get a rack to protect the bottom.

I suggest using dish soap and water. If you really want to clean them well, take a few more minutes and remove the flaps from the mounting screws and soak them in the sink with hot water and dish soap for an hour, rinse, replace and see what you think.

It has dawned on me that maybe the reason you aren't getting good results...is old porcelain layered on metal. It may have worn thru to base ?Just a reminder that sinks are one of our least expensive items to replace in kitchen :) Un-less you desire one of those top of the line "farm sinks".Anyway, good luck...just thoughts I wanted to share.

I have been using a bit of dish soap, sponge and warm water. Being stainless steel, I figure that should work okay and have not seen any problems with it.

The only thing I've found is regular cleaning with Bona Floor Cleaner, and a new coat of clear varnish. Sorry :(

My wife said she just uses liquid soap, water and a wash rag. This sink has a dull finish so nothing I know of to make it shine. it doesn't scratch up like most sinks though.

While cleaning it's best to shake off accumulated dust in a wastebasket. Good news is this duster really picks up lots of particles. For a thorough cleaning just add a drop of detergent to warm (not hot) water in the sink and submerge for a few minutes. Rinse in cool water. Use a dry, terrycloth towel press to release water (don't scrub) then air dry. This is a great product!

It is very easy to clean because the rubber plunger acts as a squeegee and wipes the inside clean. Just take off the bottom piece and push the plunger down over a garbage can (or I put it in my compost, filter and all). After that there is minimal residue and I just rinse it in the sink.

I just put it in the sink and put some soap on it and scrub it with the sponge that they suggest. Then I keep running hot water until the water runs clear. It is difficult and a little messy but it works. It says not to do it but this is my second one and it never hurt the first one. I used sos pads on it and ruined the finish.

It depends on how dirty it gets, but a simple rinse under the faucet will clean off most of the debris. If it's soiled badly you can fill the sink or a bucket with water and a few drops of dish detergent and aggitate the duster until it's clean. The bristles are made of nano urethane plastic material that doesn't absorb water so you can be as rough as you want and still maintain a good unit for several seasons of use. I hope others find this answer helpful.

I haven't had any problems using cleaners. A lot of times unless it looks really bad, I just put a little dish soap on a scrubby or sponge and use that. If it doesn't look or feel clean, I generally use Bon Ami, and my black sink looks just as good as the day it was installed.
