Cleaning Tips
Aqvato by Sandhelden
All Aqvato by Sandhelden products can be cleaned with commercially available cleaning agents, provided that these do not contain any acids.
Cleaning is quick and easy:
- For normal cleaning work, a damp cloth (not a microfiber cloth) is usually sufficient.
- Any stains should be removed immediately using water (not warmer than 65 degrees) so that any stains cannot take effect (this especially applies for hair dyes).
- Stronger stains should be removed with a scratchfree cleaning sponge evenly in circular movements. Afterwards, clean the surface with water and a soft cloth.
For any specific queries regarding the cleaning, we remain at your full disposal with our expansive knowledge. Please contact us, so we can assist further!
silverTouch Stainless Steel
The silverTouch material can be cleaned using dishwashing liquid and the soft side of a kitchen sponge.
Should you ever have a more powerful stain, a cream cleaner, such as Jif, can be used. Please ensure to wash all the cream off using water afterwards.
After cleaning the stainless steel, dry it using a clean cloth.
