Stainless steel sinks first appeared in European and American countries. Later, due to people's pursuit of design and appearance, many families preferred integrated cabinets. Integrated cabinets are not only beautiful and elegant, but also powerful in function. And each cabinet needs to be equipped with a stainless steel sink, so how can we choose a good stainless steel sink! Next, we will introduce the classification of stainless steel sinks and maintenance techniques for stainless steel sinks.

Classification of stainless steel sinks

1、 Pearl surface treatment

This production process is relatively simple, with low technical content and low cost, so the price of the stainless steel sink produced is also low. But its biggest flaw is that it is not scratch resistant, the surface is prone to scratches, and in severe cases, coating peeling may occur.

2、 Matte surface treatment

The surface hardness of the sink treated with this frosted surface is strong, which improves its scratch resistance.

3、 Smooth surface treatment

This processing method uses a wire drawing equipment to repeatedly draw on the surface of the sink, forming a fine wire mark on the surface. The surface is extremely smooth and has a strong affinity for touch and vision. In China, fine particles may appear on the surface of wire drawing sheets, which affects their appearance. Therefore, imported sheets are generally used for wire drawing sheets.

4、 Polishing mirror treatment

Repeatedly polish the surface of the sink to create a mirror like effect. But this processing method is not suitable for general household use, as it is easy to cause scratches during use, affecting the original effect.

Maintenance techniques for stainless steel sinks

1、 Regular cleaning

The frequency of using sinks is high, which can lead to more sediment and dirt in the sink. Therefore, sinks need to be cleaned regularly. They can be washed with warm water and detergent, and then rinsed with clean water. Be careful not to use steel wire, scouring pads, or grinding materials to clean the sink, as this can damage the sink.

2、 Do not use the sink as a cutting board

You cannot cut things on the sink, as this will seriously damage the sink and reduce its lifespan. Additionally, sharp objects and iron wires should not be used to rub on it.

3、 Salt and chlorine can corrode the sink

For foods with high salt or chlorine content, they should not be placed in the sink for too long, as salt can strongly corrode the sink material.
