Caring for Native Trails copper sinks in brushed nickel, natural, antique and tempered finish is surprisingly easy. For basic cleaning simply use a mild soap and water. Copper will naturally patina over time. Do not use copper cleaners or abrasives. Keep your copper sink and drain clean and dry by wiping it down after each use with a soft cloth. For extra protection, a product such as Flitz Faucet and Fixture Wax may be applied. Recent studies have shown that copper has remarkable natural antibacterial properties which actually kill dangerous bacteria such as E. coli in a matter of hours, while stainless steel and other traditional surfaces allow them to survive for weeks. Enjoy the "living” qualities of your beautiful hand hammered bowl and feel proud to own a unique and functional work of art!
