GENERAL CLEANING
Fireclay is extremely stain resistant and rust-proof, so
you can simply wipe away most food residue and liquids.
For optimal results, we recommend rinsing the inside of
your sink and wiping it with a microfiber cleaning cloth
after every use. For a more thorough cleaning, use water
and a mild liquid soap detergent (ammonia-free) or a
product from the “Products to Consider” section below.
Apply cleaner with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth,
then thoroughly rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry
with a microfiber cleaning cloth. You can also use baking
soda (or even a mild abrasive cleaner) to clean o stuck-
on food residue.
HARD WATER SOLUTIONS & DEEP CLEANING
To prevent mineral deposits from forming on the sink in
areas with hard water, rinse the inside of the sink and
wipe it with a microfiber cleaning cloth after every use.
To maintain a long-lasting shine, you can use bleach
with hot water to clean, sanitize, and maximize the
luster of your fireclay sink. Fill your sink with hot water,
adding a cup or two of bleach when about halfway full.
Let the bleach/water solution sit until it cools to room
temperature, then drain the sink and re-fill it with clean
water to rinse away any residue.
Applying a thin layer of liquid wax to the surface of
your fireclay sink once a month can make cleanup eas-
ier. The wax prevents food and liquid from sticking to
the sink surface, making it easier to simply wash debris
down the drain.

THINGS TO AVOID
• DO NOT leave coee grounds, tea bags, or other stain-
ing material in contact with the fireclay surface for extend-
ed periods of time
• DO NOT use abrasive pads, steel wool, or wire brushes
when cleaning the sink. Use only soft sponges – Although
soft abrasive cleaners (e.g. blue Scotch Brite pad) may
be used when necessary, strong abrasive cleaners (e.g.
green Scotch Brite pad) may scratch and dull the sink
surface
• DO NOT use abrasive substances such as scouring pow-
ders, steel cleaners, or concentrated drain cleaners
• DO NOT place hot items from the stove or oven direct-
ly into the sink. Consider using a trivet or rolling mat for
extremely hot items to avoid potential heat damage
