To install the sink, ensure you have all necessary tools and materials. Follow the installation guide to cut the worktop to fit, apply sealant around the edges, and securely fix the sink using the clips. Connect the plumbing as per local regulations.
Use a mild detergent or a non-abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
To prevent stains, rinse the sink after each use, wipe it dry, and avoid leaving food or drink residues. Use a sink mat to prevent scratches that can harbor stains.
Apply a mixture of vinegar and water to the affected area and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and wipe dry.
For small chips, use a ceramic repair kit, following the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the area, apply the filler, smooth it out, and let it cure before use.
Ceramic sinks generally do not require sealing, as they are non-porous. However, regular cleaning will help maintain its appearance and prevent surface buildup.
Check for blockages in the drain by removing the plug and cleaning any debris. If slow drainage persists, use a plunger or a drain cleaner suitable for ceramic sinks.
It is not recommended to place hot pans directly on the ceramic surface, as it can cause thermal shock and damage. Use a trivet or a protective mat instead.
Ensure the plumbing is insulated to prevent freezing. Avoid pouring boiling water directly into the sink when it is extremely cold, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracks.
For minor scratches, use a non-abrasive polish or a repair compound designed for ceramics. Apply gently with a soft cloth, following the product instructions, and buff the area to restore its shine.
