What type of worktop is best for installation?

How do I clean the basin?
Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the glaze.

Troubleshooting
Basin not draining properly
Check that the waste trap is clear of debris and that the waste pipe is not blocked. Ensure the unslotted waste fitting is correctly installed with a proper seal.
Water pooling in the basin
Verify that the basin is installed perfectly level. A slight tilt towards the drain can help ensure all water empties.
Tap connections leaking
Check all seals and connections for the taps and waste. Tighten fittings gently as needed. Ensure appropriate thread seal tape is used on tap connections if required by the tap manufacturer.
Scratches or marks on the surface
For minor surface marks, try a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Deep scratches may be permanent; avoid abrasive cleaning tools in the future.
