SANDSTONE FACTS AND CARE
Your sandstone sink is sculpted from natural
sandstone. Sandstone has been used in building
and art throughout history. It is created when
sand is compacted under great pressure for long
periods of time. It can take hundreds of years
for sandstone to form. Sandstone is composed
primarily of quartz, but can also contain various
other minerals, resulting in a vast variety of
colors and designs and making every sandstone
sink a one-of-a-kind creation.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Sandstone is very porous so before installation you should seal your sink. We recommend
Stone Tech Heavy Duty Sealer. Basin should be wiped dry after each use to prevent water deposits.
Your sink should be resealed twice per year.
Silicone should be used to install the drain in your granite sink, taking care to keep silicone off the
exposed sink surface. Plumbers putty and oil based sealer will stain the the surface and should not
be used.
The most effective maintenance for your sandstone sink is regular cleaning, using a soft cloth and
stone soap or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Too much soap will leave a residue. Rinse
thoroughly and buff dry with a soft cloth.
Limescale deposits from hard water can be loosened by soaking with hot water and vinegar (3 parts
water to 1 part vinegar). After soaking they can be removed by regular cleaning method. Always
rinse your sink throughly and dry with a soft cloth after cleaning. Beware of household cleaners
and wipes with acidics or abrasives.
