COPPER FACTS AND CARE
All our copper tubs and sinks are made
from heavy gauge copper sheet. Due to
the handcrafted nature of our product,
there will be some variation in size,
hammering, and finish. A copper sink
is not only a work of art, but also
possesses a natural ability to fight
bacteria. Its anti-bacterial nature resists
the growth of e-coli and many other
common bacteria.
Care and Maintenance
Our antique copper finish is a living finish and will patina over time. Our pewter sinks
are fashioned from copper with a pewter (also referred to as Satin Nickel) finish and
will not patina under normal circumstances. To maintain the rustic beauty of the sink
or tub, we recommend the following steps:
• To prevent water spotting wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use
• Do not use copper or silver cleaners or any abrasive or harsh chemicals such as
ammonia, acid, bleach, etc.
• Avoid contact with hot pots or pans. It may cause distortion due to copper’s low
melting temperature.
• Wash sink or tub with mild soap and water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Occasionally apply beeswax to maintain rustic finish
• Polishing with Olive Oil when needed will enrich the patina over time.
