Step-by-Step Care
Everyday Cleaning
Wipe the surface with a soft cloth or a non-abrasive scourer dipped in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Always wipe up wet spills to prevent a patina from forming.
Check each cleaning product on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it doesn’t damage the surface. Patina’s build-up may look like a light-coloured stain.
Honed and Ultra Rough finishes are more prone to metal marks, fingerprints, and other signs of daily use, which can easily be removed with non-abrasive cleaning products such as CIF cream or Cilit Bang Bleach & Hygiene. Do not polish the surface with a polishing machine.
Stubborn Stains
Gently rub the area using a soft cloth or paper towel with an approved cleaner.
Clean a larger area in a circular motion than the stain
Rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Repeat this process if the stain is still visible.
Dried Spills
Dried spills and stains should be reanimated with water for several minutes before attempting recommended cleaning methods.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Metal Marks
Rub gently with a latex eraser.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Place a Barkeeper’s Friend® power spray or oxalic acid on a damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive scourer.
