Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks
The square style sinks have been growing in popularity following the general trend for squarer, modern-looking bathroom, kitchen and laundry products. Not only do they give more capacity than a round sink making them more practical, but they look ultra-modern and beat older-style round sinks with their aesthetic. Often, square kitchen sinks come with a brushed stainless steel finish so they look better for longer, making them perfect for any newly built or renovated kitchen or laundry.

Taking Care of Stainless Steel Sinks
Timeless. Elegant. Like fine silver, its beautiful finish gains with age and use. But this does not mean we can neglect the care of this essential kitchen item. As a rule, stainless steel's best friend is cold, clean water or a mild detergent solution, applied with a soft sponge, rinsed well and wiped dry. Here are some of the products or elements that can damage your skin:
Chlorides
Chlorides are found in almost all soaps, detergents and cleaning products and can be damaging to stainless steel. They are water-soluble, however, so if you rinse away residues after each use, a weekly scouring is all that is needed to keep your sink looking bright and shiny.
Scratches
Like most metallic surfaces, your stainless steel sink will scratch. Don't worry, these are simply usage marks which will eventually blend into the overall finish of the sink.
Knives
Your sink is designed to serve as many things but not as a chopping board. This type of use will cause deep scratches in its surface, and will also blunt your knives.
Water Quality
The quality of your water can affect the appearance of your sink. When water has a high iron content, a brown surface stain can form on the sink giving the appearance of rust. Also, in areas with a high concentration of minerals or over-softened water, a white film may develop on the sink. To combat these problems, we suggest you wipe the sink dry after each use and give it a more thorough clean each week using a recommended abrasive product.
Foods
Foods containing high levels of salt should not be allowed to dry on the sink surface. Rinse your sink thoroughly after use.
