Astracast FAQ
astracast-logo.jpg How do I clean my ceramic fireclay sink? Astracast recommends the use of a soft sponge or cloth with mild abrasive for everyday cleaning of your sink. Aggressive cleaning is not required due to the nature of the material and its durable glazed surface which is highly resistant to scratches and stains and is resistant to acids and alkalis. Should a metal pan or pot leave a mark on the sink surface, please contact your local kitchen sink retailer who will provide you with details of products suitable for removing such traces.

* Please do not use your sink as a chopping board
* Please avoid dropping sharp and heavy objects into the sink as such objects can scratch or damage the surface

How do I clean my stainless steel sink? Always wipe your sink down with warm soapy water and a cloth to remove everyday stains. In hard water areas, limescale deposits can build up on the sink over a period of time. The limescale can become strongly colored by such foods as coffee and red wine. To remove limescale Astracast recommends the use of mild acids such as lemon juice or vinegar. If stains become ingrained in the bowls, a 30 minute soak using diluted bleach or diluted biological washing powder (one part cleaning agent to ten parts water) should remove the marks easily. Rinse the sink with water afterwards.
Please avoid: Do not pour strong chemicals down your sink such as bleach, ammonia, caustic soda, paint stripper, brush cleaners or sterilizing solutions. If this should occur accidentally, wipe the spill away immediately with a dry cloth, then rinse with plenty of water.

* Do not use your sink as a chopping board.
* Avoid droppong sharp and heavy objects into the sink as such objects can scratch or damage the surface.
*The use of plastic wash bowls, as particles of grit that may be impregnated in the bowl could scratch the surface of your sink
*Leaving bleach to soak in sink bowls causes damage to all sinks even stainless steel. If bleach should come in contact with your sink, rinse thoroughly with warm soapy water.

How do I clean my Granite ROK sink? The first action to maintain the surface and appearance of any Astracast sink is to thoroughly rinse with plenty of water. Daily cleaning may be done with a non-abrasive cleaner (for example Softscrub (with or without bleach), Bar Keepers Friend, or baking soda).
For stains: use any of the previously mentioned cleaners along with a soft scour pad (for example Scotch-Brite Soft Scour). Rinse well.
For stubborn stains/calcium deposits: (a white ring around the bottom of your sink), use Lime Away or a comparable product. If stains become ingrained in the bowls, an overnight soak using diluted bleach (10:1) will help remove stains. Rinse well. Use of strong chemicals, abrasive powders and steel wool pads will degrade the surface and make the sink more susceptible to stains.

*Do not use your sink as a chopping board.
*Avoid dropping sharp and heavy objects into the sink as such objects can scratch or damage the surface.
*Hot casserole dishes or saucepans should not be placed in an Astracast Granite sink.
