One. Natural and eco-friendly cleaning agents (Suitable for daily light stains)

● Combination of white vinegar and baking soda

Mix in a 1:1 ratio and spray or apply it to the surface of the sink. Let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes and then wipe and rinse.

The acidity of white vinegar dissolves scale, while baking soda gently grinding removes oil stains. It is safe and leaves no residue, making it suitable for weekly cleaning and maintenance.

● Citric acid or lemon slices

Citric acid can directly dissolve scale (such as scale in water dispensers and steamers), and can be used after being diluted with water in proportion. Wiping fresh lemon slices with salt can break down stains and brighten the surface.

We recommend Green Umbrella Citric acid (food grade and safe).

● Toothpaste

Toothpaste containing abrasives can remove minor rust stains and is suitable for stubborn local stains, but it is necessary to avoid excessive friction.

Two. Professional Cleaning Agents (for Stubborn scale/grease)

● Mistolin stainless steel cleaner

Designed specifically for stainless steel, it quickly removes scale, oil stains and fingerprints without the need for a long wait. Just wipe it clean after spraying.

It has been measured to be effective for sinks, glass and tiles, and does not damage the surface.

● Stepan high-viscosity neutral cleaner

Containing BIO-SOFT and BIO-TERGE surfactants, it has strong adhesion and is suitable for vertical surface cleaning (such as the inner walls of grills and sinks), completing decontamination and polishing in one step.

A neutral pH value protects the surface layer of stainless steel and reduces the risk of corrosion.

● Bio-mex Multi-functional Cleaning Cream

The Nemesis of stubborn oil stains, durable for 3 years, suitable for cleaning heavy oil areas (such as the corners of range hoods and sinks).

It needs to be used in conjunction with a sponge. After cleaning, there should be no scratches.

 ● Kao Bleaching cleaner

For the bleaching needs of granite sinks or white countertops, it can remove deep pigment deposits. The effect is remarkable after standing for 20 minutes and rinsing.

Three. Ingredients and Purchasing Suggestions

● Give priority to neutral or weakly acidic formulas

Strong acids (such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid) have strong decontamination power, but they are prone to corrode the surface of stainless steel. Neutral cleaners or those containing citric acid or lactic acid are safer.

● Pay attention to the type of surfactant

Alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO), octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and other components have a remarkable effect in removing oil stains, but they need to be thoroughly rinsed to avoid residue.

● Avoid chlorine-containing bleach

Chlorine components (such as bleaching powder) can damage the oxide layer of stainless steel, causing rust spots.

Four. Precautions for Use

Regular maintenance: Dry the water stains after each use and apply vegetable oil to prevent scale formation every month.

Tool combination: For stubborn stains, use a toothbrush or a soft-bristled brush to clean the crevices. Do not use steel wool balls.

Safety precautions: Wear gloves when in contact with strong cleaning agents to avoid direct skin contact.

Summary and recommendation

Daily cleaning: White vinegar + baking soda (economical and environmentally friendly) or Green umbrella citric acid (convenient and efficient).

Stubborn stains: Mistolin (quick descaling) or Bio-mex (the Nemesis of heavy oil stains).

Professional maintenance: Stepan neutral cleaner (long-lasting polishing).

Users can choose according to their actual needs and operate by referring to the product instructions.
