SANITIZATION
Glass sinks should be cleaned on a regular basis in order to avoid any mineral or bacteria buildup. With a soft
sponge or cloth, scrub the glass with a circular motion. Use a standard glass cleaner, we recommend Windex® or
Crystal Rain®, or a mixture of vinegar and water. Rinse and wipedown with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or
scouring pads which may scratch the glass. Be careful when cleaning the exterior of a glass sink as it might have a
foil or printed application which could be damaged by scrubbing.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Extremely hot water could cause a glass sink to crack or shatter. As a general rule, if the water is too hot to the
touch, then it is too hot to be in a glass sink.
HARD WATER
Wiping the sink dry after each use is important in order to avoid spots, especially if you have hard water. Long-
standing hard water spots on glass can create mineral stains which cannot be removed.
DAMAGE
Do not store heavy or sharp objects above glass sinks. If they fall, they can scratch or shatter the sink. A chipped or
cracked glass sink cannot be repaired.
FROSTED GLASS
Frosted glass exteriors can be cleaned with standard ammonia- based glass cleaners. Using paper towels,
newspaper or an abrasive sponge, wipe the frosted glass sink in a circular motion. Frosted glass is much tougher
than “normal” glass due to the process it underwent to achieve its appearance, so it can be scrubbed vigorously.
