to the metal surface. All exposed areas then undergo a series of

Any uncoated c opp er alloy surface is a “ living” finish. The surface has
been selected for healthcare applications because of its resistance to
corrosion and tarnishing.
Brushed surfaces reduce fingerprinting. Normal daily cleaning will
remove fingerprints. Howeve

RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR PROPER MAINTENANCE
• Do…Rinse thoroughly after each use. “Thorough” rinsing can be
done by running water for a few minutes and rubbing the cleaned
area with a clean sponge.
• Do…Towel dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits from
building up on the surface of the sink.
• Do…Clean the surface to
disinfectants, frequency, etc.). Be sure to rub in the direction of the
satin finish grain lines. Antimicrobial copper alloys have been shown
to be an effective supplement to standard cleaning practices, but
are not intended to replace normal cleaning!
• Do…Use a cleaner that will not leave a wax film or coating on the
surface, so that cleaning will not interf
action of the surface.
• Do Not…Rub the sink across the satin finish lines. Scouring across
the satin finish lines can damage the original sink finish.
• Do Not…Allow soap or other household cleansers to dry on the
surface of t he sink. Most brands contain chemical additives which
will affect the original finish.
• Do N ot…Use a steel wool pad to clean your sink. If a more abra-
sive
product is needed, use a green Scotch Brite pad being sure to
rub in the direction of the satin finish grain lines. Steel wool pads
have a tendency to break apart and small partic les of steel can
become embedded in the surface of the sink. The steel particles will
rust and will give the appearance that the sink itself is rusting.
• Do N ot…Use with ammonia. Cleaners, caulks, and sealants con-
taining ammonia may affect the finish.

SCRATCHES
Like many metallic surfaces, your antimicrobial copp er sink will
scratch. These are merely usage scratches and over time will blend
into t he overall finish of your sink with proper cleaning.
WATER QUALITY
The quality of your water can affect your sink’s appearance. If your
water has a high iron content, a brown surface stain can form on the
sink giving the appearance of rust. Additionally, in areas with a high
concentration of minerals, or with over-soften
may develop on the sink. To combat these problems, we suggest that
the sink be towel dried after use, and again, on a weekly basis, the
sink should be cleaned using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
