Cultivating A Chic Space With Copper
Copper sinks are regarded for their stunning aesthetics and room versatility — great in kitchens and bathrooms — which is why many homeowners are opting for this material. The assumption that copper is hard to care for is a myth and is not any more difficult to care for than stainless steel or porcelain. At the end of the day, no matter what the material is, it’s important to care for and clean your sink to give it the longevity it deserves.
When it comes to preserving your copper sink, it’s important to:
- Rinse your copper kitchen sink or bathroom sink with water after each use and pat it dry.
- Give your copper sink a thorough cleaning with mild soap and a soft cloth from time to time, and always avoid using anything abrasive on it. With nothing more than this simple routine of ‘rinse and wash’, your copper sink or bathtub will give you lifetimes of enjoyment!

Cleaning Your Copper Sink
Copper is naturally antibacterial and more sanitary than all other materials currently used to make kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and bathtubs. Recent studies have shown that bacteria can only live for hours on copper, as compared to living for days on stainless steel, and longer still on all other types of kitchen and bath surfaces!
For this reason alone, many hospitals have now begun the process of replacing stainless steel counters and fixtures with those made of copper! Copper sinks’ antibacterial nature will do most of the work in keeping themselves clean.
Copper sinks are easy to care for, with a couple of basic cleaning tips to follow.
- Clean with hot, soapy water and use a soft nylon brush if you need to scrub it.
- For especially stubborn stains, use a baking soda paste and gently scrub it with a brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- Dry your sink after each use to prevent mineral buildup and staining.
Copper — The Living Finish
Copper is considered a living finish because it’s highly dynamic and its colors and tones change over time as a result of what it’s exposed to. This change in the finish is also known as the patina process. Many people love copper’s patina because not only is it fluid, but it creates a rustic look that is a very popular and trendy home style.
The patina develops as a method of protection from various elements, so the more you use your copper sink, the more of a patina it will have.
Substances that strip the patina include:
- Cosmetics
- Acidic foods
- Abrasive chemicals
- Oil from the skin (fingers, elbows, etc.)
