Most people are unfamiliar with how to care for copper sinks. As one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of copper sinks throughout the US, I thought a simple article on how to care for your copper sink might be beneficial. Copper is extremely easy to care for and it naturally resists germs and bacteria.

Copper Care and Maintenance

Cleaning-Use only soap and water. DO not use Brasso* or other copper cleaners, they will remove the natural patina.

Maintenance-Wax your copper sink with a good quality auto wax at least twice a year (Spring and Fall). Apply wax, allow to haze and buff till removed. (* Our sink come prewaxed, so it is not necessary to wax after installation). Please note that you can always apply additional applications of wax, this provides an additional layer of protection.

Polishing-If needed, use a good furniture oil (Old English, ect) or Olive oil to bring out a brilliant shine on the copper sink. I personally recommend Olive oil; it will enrich the color of the patina over time.
