Preventative Maintenance:

Before initial use, it is recommended that you use a superior quality Carnauba paste wax to seal the finish before use. We also recommend repeating this process every 6 months in order to further protect the living finish.

To clean your product:
(Daily cleaning) Wash gently with a soft damp cloth. Use soap that is mild and free of anti-bacterial properties that may contain bleach. The original Dawn® soap is a good choice for its neutrality. Apply a small amount of soap to the damp cloth and gently clean the surface. Rinse thoroughly and hand dry. Never use steel wool or a scouring pad or sponge to clean the surface. The use of any cleaners or disinfectants other than mild soap and water will void the warranty.

Please Note! Personal care and everyday use products such as face cleansers, toothpaste, male grooming products, wine, fruit acid, and ketchup can and will alter the finish voiding the warranty. So please rinse thoroughly after exposure to the aforementioned products.

Is that rust in my stainless steel sink?

     Because Nantucket Sinks are made from 304 Stainless Steel, the sink will not rust. If you do see small rust marks on your sink, it is what is called “Surface Rust”. Surface rust is caused by small iron particles bonding to the sink and rusting. This most often occurs immediately after installation when grinding or polishing tools were used on the solid surface countertop. Small metal splinters might have fallen from the underside of the countertop into the sink and causing the discoloration. Another cause can be from cast iron cookware or non stainless steel cooking utensils. Don’t Panic… it is easily removed with Bar Keepers Friend© or a similar product of your choosing. Never use a rubber or plastic mat on the bottom of the sink. This can result in the iron particles bonding to the sink and causing discoloration. We recommend our sink grids to prevent excessive scratching and to promote proper drainage. Please contact one of our registered dealers for details.

Fireclay Farmhouse/Apron Sinks:

     Due to the extra thickness at the bottom of our fireclay sinks, we recommend an extended flange for disposal drains / extended ferrule for standard drains shown here:  Extended ferrule or Disposal Drain.

Fireclay Care & Maintenance:

     Fireclay sinks have become increasingly popular due to their durable nature.  They do not rust or discolor, however it is important that they are properly cared for.  Below are several guidelines to follow when cleaning your Fireclay sink.

​

     Always rinse your sink thoroughly after every use and wipe down with a dry cloth to prevent water spotting.

​

     For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend using a soft sponge or cloth and a mild abrasive. Daily cleaning with abrasives will not harm the surface of your Fireclay sink.

​

     Fireclay sinks are made using a durable glaze for years of performance. On the occasion that a metal pot or pan may leave a mark on the surface of the sink, we recommend using a mild abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend©.

​

     To keep a nice luster on your sink, and easy to keep clean, apply a coat of Flitz Fixture Wax to the surface. Be sure it is clean and dry first. This is the same type wax you apply to your car. Make sure you rub the wax in until you have removed all of the residue. This will also alleviate water spots.

​

     Fireclay resists scratches and chips better than any other ceramic material, however, in the rare occurrence that you may chip your sink it is important to fix it as soon as possible. Repair kits are available at home improvement stores, and are very easy to use. It will come with everything you need to repair and seal the chip.
