PVD Colored Sink Care And Maintenance

PVD Colored Sink Care and Maintenance Guide

Proper care and regular maintenance are essential for preserving the appearance and functionality of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) colored sinks. Below are detailed instructions on how to clean, maintain, and protect your PVD sink to ensure long-lasting beauty.

# Daily Cleaning

- Routine Cleaning: Clean your sink daily with liquid dish soap, water, and a soft household sponge. This helps remove dirt and prevent staining.

- Mild Cleaners: You can use mild, non-abrasive cleaners with a nylon scrub pad. To keep the surface uniform, rinse with water and dry the sink with a soft, dry cloth to avoid water spots.

# Removing Stubborn Stains

- Lime or Calcium Deposits: For hard water stains, pour warm vinegar or a vinegar-based cleaner into the sink and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

- Scratches: While scratches are inevitable over time, they can be minimized. Use a nylon pad with an iron-free abrasive polishing compound, and gently follow the original polish lines to blend out the scratch. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to prevent creating a bright spot.

# Things to Avoid

- Strong Abrasives: Never use strong abrasive cleaners, metal scrub pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch the surface.

- Moisture Trapping: Avoid leaving cleaning materials like sponges, rags, or rubber mats in the sink for extended periods, as they can trap moisture and cause staining.

- High Salt Content Foods: Do not let food with high salt content sit in the sink for long periods, as salt can corrode the sink surface.

- Chlorine Bleach: Avoid allowing chlorine bleach to sit in the sink for more than an hour, as this can damage the surface.

- Drain Cleaners: Do not let drain cleaners come into contact with the sink, as the harsh chemicals can harm the finish.

# Paint and Chemical Concerns

- Paint: Never pour paint into the sink. Acrylic paints left for over 24 hours will leave permanent marks, while latex-based paints should be removed immediately with a paint remover recommended by the manufacturer. For leftover paint, use nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or an acetone-based paint remover.

# Rust and Food Stains

- Rust Spots: Stainless steel does not rust, but iron particles from water, cookware, or steel wool can create rust stains. Use metal cleaners to remove rust.

- Food Stains: For stubborn food stains, use a bleach and water solution or pour bleach onto a cloth and cover the stained area for at least 30 minutes. Then, clean the area with dish detergent and water.

# Cookware Tips

- Avoid leaving steel, copper, or cast iron cookware in the sink for long periods, as these materials can leave iron particles that may corrode or stain the sink.

By following these care instructions, you can extend the life and appearance of your PVD colored sink, ensuring it remains an attractive feature in your kitchen for years to come.
