Using your Elkay Celebrity single - bowl drop - in sink is a breeze. For washing dishes, just place them in the bowl and start cleaning with your usual dish soap and sponge. When prepping meals, you can rinse fruits and vegetables right in the sink. For easy setup, simply drop the sink into the pre - cut hole in your countertop following the included instructions. To keep your sink in top shape, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the finish. After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly and dry it with a soft cloth. Regularly check the connections under the sink to make sure there are no leaks. If you notice any minor stains, you can use a mild, non - abrasive cleaner and a soft sponge to gently clean them. With proper care, your Elkay sink will serve you well for many years.
