Copper Maintenance Instructions:
Caring for our copper sinks is simple and virtually maintenance free. A copper finish is a living finish and never really stops changing in color. That being said, the evolution of a copper finish is gradual, and as it ages it becomes even more handsome. You can help protect this finish with the use of wax.
For basic cleaning simply use a mild soap and water – other cleaners are not necessary. Copper will naturally patina over time and develop a warm medium patina. Unless you want to maintain a shiny copper finish, do not use copper cleaners. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on any of our products because these will harm the finish. In addition toothpaste left in the sink without the use of wax will remove the patina. This can easily be prevented by using wax and washing toothpaste resin out of the sink before it dries.
Keep your basin and drain clean and dry by wiping it down periodically with a soft cloth. For extra protection, a product such as “Renaissance Wax” is highly recommended. This will help maintain the luster and provide better water runoff. Enjoy the living qualities of your beautiful hand hammered sink.
