Does this sink require drying after each use and regular waxing?

The best way to take care of your copper sink is surprisingly easy. For basic cleaning, simply use a mild soap, water and a sponge when necessary. You do not need other cleaning products. Do not use abrasive or harsh chemicals on any copper products as they can damage the surface. After each use, clean the product with a clean cloth. The copper finish (patina) never stops changing color. The evolution of a copper finish is gradual, and as time passes, it becomes even more beautiful. You can reduce this change with the use of wax. To help keep the copper sink with the best appearance possible, apply a thin layer of wax from time to time. The wax will help keep the shine of copper and promote better water runoff. To prevent discoloration or damage to the finish, avoid acidic substances and do not let them come in contact with the copper surface. Thoroughly rinse the sink after working with acidic substances like lemon, grapefruit, vinegar, hot sauce, etc. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as they can remove the patina and be sure to rinse the sink if one of these comes into contact with the sink. Do not use vinegar to clean the sink.

No, I do it almost everyday and I've had my sink for 2 years now. The sink is made of stone particles which can handle almost 2000 Fahrenheit.

We live in Arizona, and the water is very hard here. Obviously, if you leave the water sit and dry, it will form a spot. This sink has a textured finish inside and the outside edges are somewhat shiny. I keep a clean, dry towel that I use to wipe up any water before it dries. So far, the finish is excellent. I am very happy with this sink.

No, but I only use it when I have bathed, shaved my legs, and plan to go out in an hour or two. I do not go to bed with it damp. When it dries, I see no stain. It does have tendency to wash over with heavy duty scrubbing the next day...but who cares? It's like brushing your teeth, it's a do-over. Love it.

No washing necessary. When the water evaporates, so does the marks! It's awesome!

Daily use sink got some water & scratch marks, I just use dish soap & green Scotch pad then wipe dry.still very happy with this sink, reasonable price & other pricy SS sinks not as deep as this one.

Yes, IF you prep the area - clean, no corrosion, dry - AND don't introduce water until the specified dry/set time.

Don't use a sealer as it will damage the finish. Use clean the sink with dish soap and after drying apply a thick layer of cooking oil. The sink looks great for few weeks and basically repeat the process. Our sink is the black one and don't know about other colors.

No it doesn't. Most trimmers don't. I usually have to clean off the sink after every use. Another idea is to get a mirror that hangs from your shower head and use the trimmer before you shower for automatic cleanup.

No. I've had my sink about 8 months. It looks just as good as the day it was installed. It puts up with lots of regular daily use. I've 100% satisfied with it!

I have had this sink for a year. I have never heard that it needs to be sealed and it looks the same as it did a year ago. I love it.

I don't remember if we did!. Sorry, but it went on so smoothly and evening with a sponge mop (with an old towel). We then buffed it with our electric buffer to bring out the shine. The wax has been on for almost 3 months and it is the first wax in 27 years that has 'worked' on our natural wood KITCHEN floors. I am extremely pleased with it.

I just use a small amount of dish soap and hot water. If it needs it I will soak overnight and use a small plastic bristle brush. With rinsing after each use I hardly find the need for anything else.

Not necessary. No special care required. I keep mine in bathroom cabinet. Best applied right after bath/shower.

It regenerates after a certain number of gallons pass thru it. mine uses a bag of salt , a little over two months. I have absolutely no sign of rust build up in my white vanity sink.I use rust out salt. this is a great little softener
