Cleaning PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Coated Sinks

Proper care and cleaning are essential to maintain the beauty and durability of your PVD-coated sink. Follow these guidelines to ensure your sink retains its finish for years to come.

Daily Cleaning and Maintenance

For routine cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

What to Avoid

To prevent damage to the PVD coating, avoid the following:

  • Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool.
  • Harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or oven cleaners.
  • Allowing harsh substances like paint removers, drain cleaners, or acidic foods (e.g., vinegar, lemon juice) to sit on the surface.

Removing Stains and Hard Water Deposits

For tougher stains or mineral deposits, use a mixture of baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply gently with a soft cloth, rinse well, and dry immediately. Do not use abrasive scrubbing.

General Care Tips

To protect your sink's finish, avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the basin. While the PVD coating is highly durable, it is not indestructible. Regular, gentle cleaning is the best practice.

Note on Installation and Use

Ensure the sink is installed correctly. During construction or renovation, cover the sink to protect it from debris, paints, and adhesives.

Warranty Consideration

Improper cleaning methods that damage the PVD finish may void the product warranty. Always refer to the official care instructions provided with your sink.
