Daily cleaning of your brass sink can be done using a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. The sink should be dried after cleaning as wet smears will mark the surface. Marks and stains will happen as you live with the sink, and we tend to think it’s best to embrace them. 

If you do wish to remove any spots or dried on substances, the mild abrasive pad found on the back of a sponge can help, but be aware that it may scratch or matt the surface, which could leave an inconsistent finish. Minor abrasive marks should dull down over time through natural wear as the sink’s patina evolves. For stubborn marks, you can try ‘Bar Keepers Friend’ or a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice, but please note that this may alter the patina in that particular area.

Any ageing that is accidentally removed when cleaning will repair naturally over time as you use the sink. If you notice the surface becoming dull, and you wish to bring it back to life, you can do this by rubbing in baby oil.
