Aluminium withstands water, but coloured surfaces and strong cleaners can affect it.

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Only lukewarm water and one drop of mild dish soap. No dishwasher detergent or strong cleaners.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Aluminium is soft, and its protective oxide layer is attacked by alkaline cleaners. Anodized colour is a thin layer that can wear where parts rub. There is no manufacturer source, so we are cautious.

Watch out for

  • Never dishwasher detergent or washing soda
  • Coloured surfaces can fade
