How to Care for Granite Composite Sinks

You have finally done it: Your granite sink is in, and you are the talk of the town. Your neighbors marvel at the sink's elegance. But while a granite sink is extremely durable, there are things you can do to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.

Things You'll Need

• Vinegar Water in spray bottle Baking soda

Instructions

1. Rinse the sink. Remove any debris stuck to the sides or lingering in the basin. Use a washcloth to clean any spots that are particularly difficult to remove.

2. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Apple cider vinegar will give the mixture and your sink a more tolerable smell. The acidic mix will kill bacteria. Spray the mixture over the entire surface of the granite, and wipe it down gently with your washcloth.

3. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. Then rinse the washcloth and wipe the sink with water again.

4. Make a mixture of baking soda and water and rub it on the granite, perhaps with a toothbrush. This mixture should be abrasive enough to remove any stuck-on particles while not hurting the granite.

5. Rinse the baking soda and water mixture. Then dry the granite with a cloth or paper towel.
