To ensure that your Franke Fireclay kitchen sink retains its easy-care properties as long as possible and you are able to benefit in full from all the advantages of Franke Fireclay Finish, we would like to provide you with the following care tips:

Recommended Daily Care
For everyday cleaning of your Franke Fireclay kitchen sink, we recommend the use of a soft, non-scratching sponge or cloth. A standard liquid soap or vinegar-based cleaner is ideal, especially in areas with particularly hard water.

Tough Stains and Rust
For stubborn stains, cover with a piece of paper towel soaked in vinegar and leave to stand overnight. Specialist hardware shops also stock reliable limescale removers or vinegar based cleaner.
Some stains can not be removed by the methods described above. In these cases we would recommend using a non-abrasive liquid or cream bathroom cleaner.

What to Avoid
We would like to point out that the following highly aggressive cleaning agents (see below)may scratch the ceramic surface and impair the unique properties of Franke Fireclay Finish, even destroying them completely if used over a prolonged period.

• Scouring liquid or scouring powder
• Highly concentrated drain cleaners
• Cleaners for tap fittings and steel

We therefore recommend you avoid using such cleaning agents completely on your Franke Fireclay sink, or at least avoid any direct contact with the ceramic surfaces when using drain cleaners or cleaners for tap fittings or steel.
