Use and Care Manual

The General Care and Cleaning of Any Vessel-Style Sink
Vessel sinks are available in porcelain, glass, stone, bronze, copper, bamboo, and stainless steel. Although this is quite
a varied assortment of materials, for general maintenance all can be regularly cleaned with a mild detergent, warm water
and a soft cloth. Wiping down and drying any sink after each use is the best protection against hard water creating blem-
ishes which may become difcult to eliminate. For a thorough cleaning after extended use, or to remove stubborn stains,
each material requires its own deep cleaning solutions.

SANITIZATION
A bamboo sink is best cleaned with a mild soap and
water solution. An alternative mixture of one ounce of
white vinegar to one quart of water can also be used
for daily cleaning.
AVOID HARSH CHEMICALS
Ammonia-based cleaning products can soften the
nish of bamboo sinks and so should be avoided.
Nail polish remover, bleach, ammonia and similarly
harsh chemicals should be totally avoided because
they will cause signicant damage to bamboo.
Bamboo
COLOR
No two bamboo sinks look alike. Each bamboo ves-
sel is unique in its coloring because it is constructed
of stalks collected from various bamboo farms, each
with its own tone, and randomly combined with oth-
ers to create a one-of-a-kind pattern sink.
