Maintaining Copper
Our copper kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks and vessel sinks are completed with a patina finish that is ‘fired’ into the material, giving them a weathered or 'aged' appearance. If you scrub, or polish... or use anything abrasive or acid-based on your copper sink you will damage the patina finish
Here's what you do...
Rinse your copper kitchen sink, bathroom sink or vessel sink with water after each use and pat it dry. With nothing more than this simple routine of 'rinse and wash', your copper sink or bath tub will give you lifetimes of enjoyment!
Cleaning Your Copper Sink
To clean... use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, mild soap, warm water and gently wipe the interior and exterior of your copper sink or bathtub. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe your sink or tub dry with a clean soft cloth.
Hard Water Areas
If you live in an area where the mineral content in your water is high, it's best to wipe your copper sink dry after each use to prevent unsightly spotting.
A Light Wax Coating
For an added layer of protection (especially in 'hard water' areas), consider giving your copper kitchen sink, bathroom sink or vessel sink a very light coat of wax.
A high quality wax, specifically made for plumbing fixtures, will protect your sink and tub against the buildup of mineral deposits and other types of water/soap residue. For those who live in a 'hard water' area, waxing your sink is a definite plus.
How often should you apply a new coat of wax? As often as needed. When you notice that water is no longer 'beading up' on the surface of your copper sink, it's time to apply another coat.
One Final Note
For your copper kitchen sink... All acid based foods and/or food items such as... lemons, tomatoes, mustard, pineapple, vinegar, etc... have the potential to damage the patina finish. To avoid ruining the finish it is best to leave water running while working with products and foods of this nature and remember to thoroughly rinse your sink immediately after use
