Care and Maintance

Avoid contact with citric and other natural acids.
After you are finished using the sink, rinse out whatever soap is left behind. If you live in an area where the mineral content in the water is high, its good idea to wipe out the sink after you rinse it. Wipe the entire surface dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use.
Clean your sink with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Do not use cleaners which contain acids, harsh chemicals, or abrasives. Do not scrub or polish the sink.

Your copper sink actually does most of the cleaning work by itself. Copper is naturally antibacterial.
