With proper care and maintenance, your Elkay CuVerro antimicrobal copper sink will
give you a lifetime of service. Below are the suggestions for the care and cleaning of your
Elkay sink.
General Cleaning
It is recommended to clean Elkay sinks daily to avoid build-up of soap or mineral
deposits, as these tend to have an adverse effect on the appearance of the product. For
daily cleaning use an ordinary mild detergent and soft cloth to rinse and dry the sink.
Allowing water or cleaners to evaporate will negatively impact the look of the sink. To
avoid this, it is important to dry the sink after each use.
• To avoid unwanted build-up, it is recommended to dry your sink after each use.
• Soft abrasive cleaners may be used when necessary (Blue Scotch-Brite Pads).
Strong abrasive cleaners will scratch and dull the surface (Green Scotch-Brite
Pads).
Do’s
• Clean and sanitize according to standard practice.
• Healthcare facilities must maintain the product in accordance with infection
control guidelines.
• Run cold water when pouring boiling water into sink.
• It is recommended that you clean your sink prior to first use.
Do Not’s
• Avoid storing open containers of household cleaners and chemicals containing
chloride such as bleach, acid, and drain cleaners or toilet bowl cleaner beneath
the sink. Vapor emission from the chlorides can cause corrosion and pitting to
the exposed stainless steel and other metals including faucet water supply lines.
• Do not use abrasives, metal (copper) cleaners, scouring pads, lime or rust
removal, alkaline-based, ammonia-based or acidic-based chemicals or cleaning
products.
• Do not use dish mats as these can trap soap and dirt making sink maintenance
more time-consuming and cultivate harmful bacteria.
• Do not leave standing water in your sink, especially if the water contains anything
that could stain the sink (i.e. coffee or tea).
Success with cleaners are dependent on the quality of the water being used. Failure to
follow care and cleaning will void your warranty. For additional information, please
