• The charisma and charm of copper is its living fi nish,
which will change and react over the course of use.
That means if you accidently forget to wash out the
food from last night’s dinner, you will notice a
change in the copper fi nish. This will inevitably
happen and is completely normal — Relax and let the
natural patina process take over.
• Patina is a natural coating that builds on copper over
time to protect it from corrosion. Spots and blem-
ishes will come up from time to time (from citrus,
salt, ketchup and toothpaste), but just like a brand
new penny — over time it will re-patina and darken,
leaving your sink with a rich copperly blend of light
dark tones.
• Since most soaps and detergents contain chlorides,
Just recommends frequent rinsing of your copper
sink, preferably after each use. Combine this simple
daily treatment with weekly cleansing. Rinse well and
dry. Regularly drying your sink works wonders to
prevent water spots.
• Protect the fi nish of your copper sink and reduce
spotting with a monthly coating of copper wax
surface protectant.
• Do not let soap cleansers dry on the sink surface.
Rinse regularly to keep the chlorides found in most
cleansers from affecting the sink’s natural luster.
• Do not allow chlorine bleach and drain cleaners to
come into contact with the sink surface. It will
remove the patin
a and drastically alter the fi nish of
your sink.
• Steer clear of steel wool pads and strong abrasive
cleansers, as they will scratch the surface. For hard-
to-clean projects, try a ScotchBrite scouring pad
when the job at hand requires a little extra effort.
• Avoid leaving food, toothpaste or steel and cast iron
cookware in your sink for extended periods of time.
Iron plus moisture on top of copper can lead to sur-
face rust and staining.
• Rubber dish mats, wet sponges and cleaning pads
are not recommended for a lengthy stay in your sink.
Since they trap water, discoloration and staining can
result.
• Just as you do not use your cutting board to clean
the dishes, do not use your sink as a cutting board.
Knives and other sharp kitchen instruments will
natu-rally damage the surface of your sink.
