Traits of Copper Sink and Bathtub - The key to bring beauty and function together

Going beyond its handcrafted form, copper brings with its function - creating a perfect bond between the two. Copper is germicidal, via a chemical reaction which sanitizes the surface of the sink or tub or metal [known as the oligodynamic offer]. These antimicrobial properties of copper are effective against MRSA, Escherichia Coli & other pathogens. This effect progresses faster in warmer temperatures. Surfaces such as stainless steel & aluminum do not do this. Copper does not react with water [H2O], but instead it only reacts with oxygen [O2], which gives copper the ability to change its appearance over time throuh shades of brown-black. Through these exclusive traits copper brings with it not only a unique style for your home but an impressive ability to be functional on levels non other sink would otherwise accomplish.

Caring for your copper sink and bathtub

Regular cleaning is important and can most easily be done with soap and water. Drying is very important to eliminate any build-up that may develop from hard water deposits.

Note: Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acids, waxes, alcohol, solvents or other products not recommended for copper steel. Never use steel wool to clean your copper sink and bathtub.
