• Rinse the sink thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
• Dry the sink with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas.

For Stubborn Stains and Limescale:

• For limescale, use a descaling agent safe for granite sinks or a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). Apply, let sit briefly (5-10 minutes), then scrub gently, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
• For more persistent stains, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for granite or composite sinks can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

• Leaving highly pigmented foods (e.g., beetroot, red wine, coffee) or strong dyes on the surface for extended periods, as they may cause temporary staining. Clean immediately.
