FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How should I care for my sink?

Every sink is pre-sealed with a natural stone sealer (available at any hardware or stone center). The sealer may be applied every 6 to 12 months based on how much use. The sealer is not generally needed though unless the stone lessens its water beading or shine.

General cleaning is the most the sink will ever need and mild dish-washing detergent is best or any natural stone cleaner (available at any hardware or stone center). Do not use any heavy cleaners like vinegar,lemon, acids or abrasives scrubbers this will take out the shine  and expose the stone to possible staining and discoloration.

Everyday standard home use for the sinks are great, brushing teeth (may show residue if not running the water since sink is not white),washing hands/face with mild soap, shaving and any other general uses.
