CARE AND CLEANING...

For all porcelain enamel surfaces, regular, gentle care is best. The recommended way to preserve the finish, avoid scratches, and clean porcelain enamel fixtures is to rinse them with detergent and water. Generally, any of the light duty liquid dishwashing detergents, such as Palmolive or Dawn, work well. In areas where the water is hard, a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent such as liquid Tide will work better.
