How do I protect my ceramic sink?

To protect your ceramic sink, consider the following tips:

1. Sink Mats or Grids: Use sink mats or grids to keep dishes, glasses, pans, and utensils off the bottom of your sink. These prevent scratches and dings. Sink mats are typically made from softer materials like silicone, while sink grids feature stiffer metal construction. Look for options with non-slip feet that won’t damage your basin.
 
2. Seal the Porcelain: Sealing your porcelain sink helps prevent dirt, oil, minerals, and stains from penetrating the surface. Follow these steps:
 
Clean the sink thoroughly with mild dish soap and water.
Apply a sealer using a spray gun or thick brush.
Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Apply a second coat and buff away excess sealer after 30 minutes.
 
3. Daily Cleaning: Clean your sink daily to prevent buildup of soap scum, grease, and dirt. Use a solution of two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid to a gallon of water. Scrub gently with a soft non-abrasive cloth or sponge, and wipe it dry to eliminate water stains.
 
4. Avoid Scratches:
 
Rinse the sink with clear water after every use to remove dirt particles.
Avoid pouring acidic liquids directly onto the porcelain surface (e.g., vinegar or acidic foods).
Rinse these items down the drain immediately to prevent weakening of the enamel.
 
Remember to maintain regular cleaning habits to keep your ceramic sink looking pristine!
