• Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth to clean. Never use abrasive material like a bristle brush or scouring pad.
  
• Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately after applying cleaners.
  
• In the rare occurrence of stubborn stains on Cast Iron surfaces, use abrasives or abrasive cleaners sparingly
