Maintenance
All Herbish® stainless steel drainage products feature a satin finish. While highly durable, this finish can be marked or scratched if incorrect cleaning methods are used.
Although scratches may affect appearance, they will not compromise the corrosion resistance or performance of the product. Regular maintenance will help preserve both appearance and hygiene standards.
