Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the sink down with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge after each use.
Stain Removal Use a mild solution of water and baking soda for stubborn spots, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Scrubbing Prevention Avoid using steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh abrasive scouring powders that can dull the glazed finish over time.
