Why You Should Be Considering a 36” Copper Sink or Similar

This 36” copper sink is made of entirely natural copper, giving it some unique properties that make interesting changes as time goes on. A popular aesthetic feature in copper is living finish, which transforms the copper materials into living, breathing pieces of art.

The copper is allowed to weather naturally with time. This causes it to change gradually, leaving a constantly developing finish that gives it a raw, unique appearance.

This metal offers a high level of antibacterial characteristics and excellent aesthetic features. Due to its organic nature, copper kills 99.9% of all germs that come into touch with its surface within two hours.

MRSA, Staph, Influenza A, E. coli, Coronavirus, and other dangerous elements don’t stand a chance when they’re on the surface of copper. This is why unnatural substances used on commercial copper and other metals may preserve their shine for longer, but it loses all other effective properties.

The material and surface treatment of these 36" copper sinks have dual advantages that give your kitchen a lovely touch of elegance and a much healthier atmosphere.

Altering the Course of the Patina

Do not be alarmed if you see that your copper has taken on a greenish hue. First of all, indoor copper is seldom affected by this. If it occurs or you dislike the patina that has formed, keep the copper dry while not in use. After each usage, give it a good rinse and avoid using acidic cleaners.

After each usage, you may treat the sink with furniture polish or copper wax. The patina's development is noticeably slowed down as a result. Use a copper polish ONCE PER YEAR to remove any patina you don't want to be apparent. The finish of your sink will be harmed if you polish it more frequently.

Stop using the copper polish after you get the desired appearance. Apply clear lacquer to maintain the appearance and stop the patina in its tracks.

Cleaning Options

You can use several techniques to clean your 30" copper sink without worrying about damage. Copper is highly resilient and will maintain its strength over time. Scuffs and scratches are the main things you need to watch out for.

If you're not cautious, you could also notice little dings and dents, but selecting a finish that hides them can create a stunning appearance and ensure you never see the damage. Otherwise, keep anything heavy enough to damage the sink away from it.

Copper requires slightly more upkeep than other metals. It's not thought to be complicated or heavy maintenance, though. It only requires a little additional care. Due to its antibacterial properties, which shield you from bacteria and germs, you are also trading extra care.

To prevent any damage to your 30" copper sink, use the following advice:

  • Avoid using harsh cleansers, abrasive chemicals, or stiff bristle brushes.
  • Keep away from very acidic substances like mustard, orange, pineapple, lemon, and spicy sauce for a lengthy period. If they do make touch with your copper sink, promptly rinse.
  • When cleaning, use water and mild soap. After each use, dry the copper with a soft cloth. Using a wax will prevent water spots and mineral deposits on your 30" copper sink. This is more than enough to clean the copper.
  • You may get copper sink cleaners at hardware stores that perform a fantastic job cleaning without damaging the sink's surface when water stops beading on it.
