How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Water draining slowly

Check the free-flow waste for any blockages. Ensure it is properly installed and clear of debris.

Water leaking around the waste fitting

Re-seal the waste fitting using plumber's putty or appropriate sealant. Ensure all connections are tight.

Finish appears dull or stained

Clean with a mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. For stubborn stains, use a specific stainless steel cleaner for brushed finishes, following product instructions.

Basin does not sit evenly on the countertop

Check the countertop opening for flatness and ensure no debris is trapped. Adjust the basin's seating and re-secure if necessary.

Pros and Cons

  • Easy to clean and maintain.

Cons

  • Does not include an overflow, which may require closer attention to water levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This basin is designed for countertop installation. Ensure your countertop has a precisely cut opening to fit the basin's dimensions (500mm x 350mm). Secure the basin firmly to the countertop according to standard installation practices for countertop basins.

Compatibility:

  • Waste: Requires a free-flow waste fitting (sold separately). Ensure the waste fitting is compatible with the basin's 17.5-litre capacity and free-flow design.
  • Tap: Compatible with most standard basin taps. Consider the height and reach of the tap to ensure comfortable use with the basin's dimensions.
  • Bottle Trap: A bottle trap (sold separately) is recommended for connecting the waste to the plumbing, particularly for visible pipework where aesthetics are important.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish and stainless steel:

  1. Wipe the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  2. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent and rinse thoroughly.
  3. Dry the basin immediately after cleaning with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  4. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the finish.
