Tips for Maintaining Your Copper Sink

Maintaining a copper sink is much easier than you may realize. With each passing year, a copper sink takes on the patina that gives copper its ultimate beauty.

A little known fact about copper – it has a natural cleansing property that keeps bacteria from growing less quickly than stainless steel.

To keep your copper sink in good shape for many years, here are a few tips:

Wash and rinse your copper sink thoroughly after each use. Regular dishwashing detergent is all that’s needed.

Don’t use abrasives or stiff cleaning utensils to avoid scratches.

Acidic foods such as tomatoes, vinegar, mayonnaise, lemons, etc. can damage the outer finish so make sure these types of foods are not allowed to remain in the sink for long periods of time.

Most kitchen sinks show their age over time; not so with a copper sink. The whole idea is that it is supposed to take on the naturally aged appearance, so your sink looks better and better through the years.
