Copper Care
Copper Care The Nature of Copper Ever have an old perfect pair of blue jeans? Or a comfortable pair of broken-in boots? Time breaks these things in, and the way we use them molds them to our shape. Copper is a lot like that. If you’ve ever compared a shiny new penny to an older penny, you see the difference in color. That’s because copper has a living finish that changes and evolves with how you use it. It’s what makes copper beautiful and raw.
Copper Care Maintenance While the sink will never look the same as the day you installed it, it will always be a striking centerpiece in your room that you will use heavily. It’s a very unique looking and beautiful material, but it’s also a very strong and resilient metal. The patina helps protect the sink from corrosion, so you’ll never have to worry about rust or brittleness of the metal. Because of this, maintenance is very simple: just keep your sink clean.
Copper Cleaning Discoloration It’s inevitable. Discoloration will occur with a copper sink; it’s the nature of the metal. There are many reasons why discoloration occurs: harsh chemicals, long exposure to acidic materials (lemons, ketchup, toothpaste, etc.) or other types of food, general heavy use, etc. But, don’t panic. • Rinse clean with hot water and dry with a microfiber cloth (included in the Copper Armor Care Kit).
Copper Cleaning Tips for Reducing Discoloration Eliminating discolorations is nearly impossible. Over the years, we have learned a few helpful tips to reduce discoloration and spotting: • • • • • • Rinse your sink completely after use Clean your sink regularly to reduce green build-up from the patina as well as spotting from food, juice, chemicals, or other types of debris Treat your sink regularly with Sinkology Copper Armor to help protect your sink’s finish by allowing water to bead up and rinse off.
