How easy is this sink to clean? Does gunk build up in the corners, because it's difficult to get a sponge into those corners?

I have a faucet with pull out handle and it does a great job of pushing the debris into the center garbage disposal. I also use a nylon bristle brush with handle to wash the sink every night after dinner and never have problems with gunk building up in the corners. I found that the best way to prevent water stains is to wipe down the sides of the sink with a towel after you wash it. It does take more time to keep the sink spotless but it's worth it to me because it is a huge sink and it's beautiful.

I have not had an issue with mine. i do a good cleaning a few times per week. I love the sink and recommend it!

I haven't had any trouble cleaning it - it wipes out easily with a paper towel or sponge, you can get the inside wet, you just can't submerge it.

I have the grate that came with it in almost all the time, but I think it may scratch and show marks easily because it is so shiny. It is a much nicer SS sink than I have ever had before and I think it cleans very easily with sponge made for non-stick pans and dish detergent. I am so much happier with this sink than my old Corian sink that stained easily and I couldn't put hot pans in.

The sink I ordered is two equal sized sinks with drains on the back side, not center, of each. They are not very level on the bottom so if you set something into the sink, it may slide to the drain. If there are racks provided with this sink, they are nice but catch grime and become bacteria growth areas. It is very hard to keep them clean. I threw one out and don't use the other. The sink is nice but came bowed and it was very hard for the installers to get it in level.

It's very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp or wet cloth or sponge. Air dry or use a kitchen towel.

According to the product documentation it has 10mm radius corners. I really like the look of 0 radius but have read that it can be hard to clean the tight corners. The 10mm radius seems like a nice compromise which is one of the reasons I chose this sink. It still has a crisp, squared-off look but appears that cleaning the corners should not be a problem. I just received the sink and have not yet installed it.

We have found it to be easy to clean and we love the quality and look of the sink. The grate that comes with sink to protect the finish is nice but I am thinking of getting rid of it because it can make cleanup a bit trickier. Overall it is a great sink for the price!

I have found that it scratches quite easily. I chose not to use the bottom rack because I like to be able to wash down the bottom with soap and a sponge. At first it bothered me, the scratches, but I've accepted them now and enjoy the sink and it still looks very nice. I've decided a sink is not going to look as great as the fridge, range, dishwasher, microwave because it is much more hard working. I would purchase again.

We don't have a black sink, we have a white sink, but what we find is the best way to clean it is one of those "Magic Eraser" sponges. It cleans it fast and you only use dishwashing soap.

There are a lot of corners to clean. I was surprised just how quickly it starts to get moldy so you really need to keep on top of it.

Yes, it is very easy to clean. I use a damp sponge on the outside and top and a dray clean cloth for the inside. This is my third one and they work great!

It's not really difficult. When I clean my stovetop or sink with non-abrasive cleaner, I gently wipe the faucet with a tiny amount of cleaner, It polishes right up.

No, it is not difficult to clean. It actually comes with a tool that easily is able to scrap between the grooves of the rack.

i find it very easy to clean. the material is flexible so you can shove a sponge in there and scrub the heck out of it. love these.

Not very hard at all. Turn it over and tap it on the ground outside, rinse with the sink sprayer.

I just put it in the sink and put some soap on it and scrub it with the sponge that they suggest. Then I keep running hot water until the water runs clear. It is difficult and a little messy but it works. It says not to do it but this is my second one and it never hurt the first one. I used sos pads on it and ruined the finish.
