Troubleshooting
Sink appears dull or stained

Water is not draining properly
Check the waste trap for blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear. If a waste disposal unit is installed, verify it is functioning correctly.

For very light scratches, some composite sink cleaners may help. For deeper scratches, consult the manufacturer's care guide or consider a professional refinishing service. Using sink grids can prevent future scratches.
