    Care of Maintainance:

    The way to keep your copper lovely is to keep it clean. For basic cleaning, simply use a mild soap and water. Other cleaners are not necessary.

    If you have hard water in your area, we recommend keeping your sink dry by wiping it down periodically with a soft cloth. For extra protection, a product such as wax shoe polish may be applied to the copper surface periodically. This seal will help maintain the luster of a copper sink and provide better water runoff.

    Be careful with toothpaste and remove the residue in order to avoid the patina from being eaten away. If an acidic product, such as toothpaste, ketchup, lemon, or orange juice removes some of the patina, do not worry - the patina will return over time.

    Precautions:


    Do not use corrosives such as chlorine or concentrated vinegar, abrasive cleaners, citric acids like lemon or orange juice, or harsh chemicals. These substances may remove the patina finish of a copper sink. However, if an acidic product removes some of the patina, do not worry - the patina will return over time.
