CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Karran quartz sink is produced from the highest quality natural quartz crystals and acrylic resins. With the right care it will last a lifetime. Cleaning and caring for your quartz sink is easy. Simply follow the reference guide below.

Normal impurities (residue from washing up)

Clean your sink with water, a non-abrasive cleaner (liquid dishwashing soap, Bar Keeper’s Friend, Soft Scrub with bleach) and a cloth, then rinse well with hot water and dry. This should be done after every use. Doing this will eliminate water spots and soap film build-up.

Metal abrasions (pots, pans and cutlery)

Use a rub-out sponge (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge). Follow up by cleaning your sink with water, liquid dishwashing soap and a cloth, then rinse well with hot water and dry. Do this whenever necessary.

Lime scale stains (calcium deposits)

Use vinegar or a commercial lime scale & rust remover such as Lime Away or CLR. With vinegar, dilute 50% with water and let it soak into the affected areas for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with hot water then dry. With a commercial lime scale & rust remover, follow the directions for use on the
packaging, then rinse sink thoroughly with hot water and dry. Scrubbing your sink thoroughly with a wet Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge will also assist in the removal of the calcium deposits.

Stubborn stains

Use a mild abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend and a soft scouring pad. A diluted bleach solution may also be used. Mix 1 part household bleach with at least 1 part water and let soak in sink for 1 hour. Drain, rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry.
These simple maintenance tips will keep your sink looking its best for years. To prevent permanent damage to your sink:

• Do not place hot pots or other hot items directly onto the sinks surface. Let them cool completely before placing them on the sinks surface.
•  Do not use the sink as a cutting board. While quartz is incredibly durable, sharp knives may cut into the surface.
• Do not clean the sink with abrasive cleaning/scouring pads and powder detergents. This may dull and damage the sinks surface. If needed a nylon brush or soft scouring pad can be used.
• Strong alkalis (ammonia and caustic soda solutions) must be avoided.
• Be very careful with drain cleaners. Do not let any drain cleaner come into contact with the sinks surface.
•  The most important regular cleaning tip is to rinse well and dry the sink after every use, particularly with darker colored sinks.

Luster Pro cleaning oil, available from your local Karran dealer or online retailer, is a specially formulated oil-based cleaning solution. It is perfect for giving your quartz sink that extra shine and sparkle when needed. After thoroughly cleaning and drying your sink, place a small amount in the bowl and wipe all
over the sinks surface with a cloth. Apply more if needed and use as often as desired.
