Maintenance

• Clean the basin regularly with non-abrasive soap and warm water. Fully rinse after cleaning.
• While Clearstone is highly stain resistant, it is recommended that water-containing additives such as creams, oils, or salts are always drained and rinsed immediately after use.
• Please note that hair dyes and color cosmetics (eg. mascara, lipstick, face powder) may leave a slight discoloration if not removed immediately.
• If any strong chemicals come into contact with the basin, remove them and rinse immediately. Water temperature should not exceed 49˚C/120˚F.
• To remove a fine scratch or a slight mark, use 1500-grade sandpaper. Gently sand the area with water.
• For best results, limit sanding to the smallest possible area around the scratch. Re-polish the surface afterward using a neutral polishing compound or toothpaste.
• It may be possible to polish very fine scratches away without using abrasive papers: scrub gently with a soft brush or plastic pad (not a metal scouring pad) and a mildly abrasive cream cleaner.
• Afterward, scrub the whole area with plenty of clean water and re-polish as before.
• If the scratch or mark is too deep and cannot be repaired using the above method, it is possible to purchase a repair kit in US-CRK. To remove the scratches, follow the instructions included in the kit.

Tools required

Drilling Tap Hole

• Place the basin upside down on a stand.
• Add a layer of protection between the stand and basin to avoid surface damage or scratching.
• Aim the Ø3mm drill bit at the pilot hole at the back side of the basin, then drill through the pilot hole.
• Turn over the basin, remove the drill bit from the driller, and change to a suitable hole saw with a pilot bit, then aim the hole saw with a pilot bit at the pilot hole just drilled, and drill through the tap hole.

IMPORTANT:

1. The drill bit must be held at the right angle to the hole to be drilled.
2. Secure the basin, go slow and steady, and push it down to drill the tap hole. Any small mistakes can mean that your taps won’t fit onto the basin correctly.
3. Always inspect your drill bits and hole saws before use. If the tip or edge is damaged in any manner, do not use it as it will most likely cause your material to crack.
