Sure, they’re durable and will always stand the test of time, but how can you keep your porcelain sinks looking as great as they did when they were installed? Porcelain Glaze, located in Clinton, CT, has more than 30 years of experience maintaining porcelain and offers a few tips for keeping your porcelain purchases in tip-top shape.

Even though the wildly popular apron-front or farm porcelain sinks are designed to maintain an authentic vintage look, it’s still important to make sure they remain looking crisp and gleaming. To accomplish this, clean your sink daily with dishwashing soap, warm water, and a non-abrasive sponge. 

Rough sponges and cleaning cloths aren’t the only things you’ll want to avoid when it comes to cleaning your porcelain. Skip abrasive cleaners as well, since they pose a threat to the finish. If, however, your porcelain sink does incur a few scratches, try a formula of 1 tbsp. of ammonia to 1 gallon of water. That will keep any dirt or grease from settling into the crevices while also ensuring your sink has a shiny finish.

Additionally, it’s important to ensure your porcelain sinks remain free of chips. Did you know most chips are due to heavier items being dropped? Avoid unloading groceries near the sink and allow any hot pots and pans to cool before placing them in your sink. Still, there are times when accidents are going to happen. When they do, consult an experienced technician who can lay out your options for removing the mark and bringing your porcelain sink back to its former glory.

A bit of caution will go a long way in keeping your porcelain sinks, bathtubs, and showers beautiful. And if you need help, just turn to the team at Porcelain Glaze. For more information, give them a call at (860) 669-2576 today.
