USE AND CARE GUIDE

Finish Note

Each original, hand crafted, antique hammered copper
sink is unique in texture, color and has a “living” finish
with a natural and desired patina, that will continue to
develop over time and use. Acidic foods such as juices
and ketchup can remove the patina if left on the sink.
However since the patina is a living finish it will recover
over time.

Scratches

Like many metallic surfaces, your copper sink will scratch.
These are merely usage scratches and over time will blend
into the overall finish of your sink

•After each use, rinse the sink and dry it thoroughly witha

damage to the patina. Residue left in the sink or on the
surface will also cause it to tarnish more quickly.

with clean water, and dry it. Never use abrasives, metal
(copper) cleaners, scouring pads, lime or rust removal,

chemicals or cleaning products. Elkay does not warranty
the finish of the copper sinks.
