How to choose a stainless steel kitchen sink
Start with the grade. 304-Grade has more chromium and nickel, so it resists rust and stains better, especially with hard or borewell water. 202-Grade costs less and suits lighter use, like a utility or second sink.
Next, pick the build. A handmade sink is welded with sharp corners and straight walls, so the bowl holds more. A pressed (hydraulic) sink is pressed from one sheet with rounded corners and costs less. Smart sinks are drop-in only.
Sizes run from a small 15 x 12 inch bowl up to 45 x 20 inch double bowls and drainboard sinks. Measure your base cabinet before you choose. Handmade sinks without a drainboard can be fitted on top of or under the counter; mounting clips are not included with any Ruhe sink.
To keep the sink looking new, wipe it dry after the last wash of the day so hard-water spots don't set. Use mild soap and a soft sponge; never steel wool, bleach or acid cleaners.
