Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads.

The basin measures 600mm in width, 122mm in height, and 380mm in depth.

Troubleshooting
Basin leaks water around the base.
Ensure a continuous and sufficient bead of silicone sealant was applied between the basin and the vanity top. Re-apply sealant if necessary, ensuring the area is dry first.
Water drains slowly from the basin.
Check that the unslotted basin waste is correctly installed and not obstructed. Clean any debris from the waste trap and the overflow passage.
Tap is not compatible with the basin.
Confirm that the tap selected is a high-rise mixer or wall-mounted type, as this basin has no pre-drilled holes for standard pillar taps.
Scratches or stubborn marks appear on the surface.
Use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners. For minor scratches, a specialized ceramic repair kit might be considered, but always test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
