Maintenance Tips
- Daily cleaning: Wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge, then rinse and dry to maintain the smooth, non-porous granite surface and prevent water spots.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners—granite composite is durable but can be damaged by strong chemicals.
- Prevent stains early: Rinse after coffee, tea, wine, or acidic foods to avoid surface discoloration over time.
- Use sink grids if available: Protects the base from scratches caused by heavy cookware and helps maintain the matte stone finish.
- Handle heat safely: The sink is heat-resistant, but still avoid placing very hot pans directly on the surface for long periods.
- Dry after use: Wipe down after washing dishes to reduce mineral buildup and keep the grey finish uniform.
- Clear drains regularly: Remove food debris and flush both bowls to maintain smooth drainage and prevent clogging in the 60/40 split.
- Clean gently but consistently: Light daily care is better than occasional heavy scrubbing—keeps the granite looking new longer.
