For general cleaning, just use soap and water or any ammonia based household cleaners. For stubborn stains, use a mild abrasive cleaner or a diluted solution of bleach. For Solid Surface sinks, occasionally clean by filling the sink one-quarter with a water\/bleach solution. Let it soak for 15 minutes, then wash the sides and bottom as the solution drains.<\/p>\n
