Ceramic Sink Care & Maintenance

To keep the sink's appearance the following guidelines must be followed, failure to do so may result in damage of the product.

¨         Avoid using a plastic washing-up tub, as trapped dirt underneath can scratch the ceramic glaze. Instead, consider using protective baskets or grids inside the sink and on the drainer to help prevent damage and extend its lifespan.
 
¨         Strong chemicals and alkalis such as ammonia, caustic soda, paint strippers, brush cleaners and nail varnish removers must not come into contact with the sink because they can cause damage.
 
¨         Please take care not to drop any objects e.g. knifes from an excessive height as this may chip or crack the surface glaze.
 
¨         Do not place hot pans straight from the cooker onto the sink as this may cause crazing to the surface finish.
 
¨         Ceramic sinks can be cleaned with most cleaners, including mild abrasives. Metallic pan scrubbers are not recommended as metal on ceramic can cause grey marks. These grey marks can also be caused by pans and cutlery, they can be removed by a mild abrasive cleaner (i.e. kitchen cleaner that contains maximum 5% bleach only) and a non-metallic pan scrubber. 
 
¨         Bleach can be used on the sink, but please ensure it is rinsed thoroughly. Rinsing both the bowls and the drainer will help reduce the risk of damage and extend the working life of the sink.
