Care and Maintenance

The products united under the Alveus brand are first-rate products in terms of quality, manufacture, materials and design. Since the sinks are made of various materials with specific characteristics, care and maintenance must be adjusted accordingly. Every sink is supplied with care and maintenance instructions. Following the recommendations stated, you will ensure a long service life to your Alveus kitchen products.

Stainless steel sinks

Soft cloths and liquid household cleaners should be used for cleaning. Avoid silver cleaner, steel wool pads, bleach or abrasive detergents. Do not deposit unprotected metal objects onto the stainless steel parts. Should stainless steel come into contact with strong acids or leach, flush it immediately with a large amount of water. To avoid staining, do not leave food or corrosive substances (e.g. fruit juice, kitchen salt, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise etc.) on stainless steel surfaces for longer period. We recommend that stainless steel products be wiped with a dry soft cloth after use to prevent scale formation.

Composite sink

Most stains and dirt can be removed with mild liquid nonabrasive household cleaners or ammoniac-based detergents. More difficult stains can be removed with a fine polishing agent; the remains of limestone can be removed with 9% acetic acid (vinegar). Chlorine detergents (soda hypochlorite) or hydrochloric acids as well as exposure to strong chemicals (varnish removers, oven cleaners, concentrated acids, lye and similar) can damage the sink finish. Should the contact occur, rinse quickly the surface with water. We recommend the use of appropriate chopping boards.
