Using this sink is easy. Just place your dishes and utensils in it for washing. When using, avoid hitting the sink with hard objects to prevent scratches. For maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Don't use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the matte black finish. If there are stains, you can soak a cloth in warm soapy water and gently rub the area. This will keep your sink looking great for a long time.
