Using this Chelsea Fireclay farmhouse sink is a breeze. Just place your dishes, pots, and pans in it for washing. For normal cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to keep the gloss white finish looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the fireclay. When placing heavy items, do it gently to prevent cracking. Also, make sure to clean the bottom grid and chrome basket waste regularly to avoid clogs. With proper care, this sink will serve you well for years.
