WAYS TO MAINTAIN A CONSOLE BATHROOM SINK
CLEANING A CONSOLE SINK
Because a console sink also has legs and sometimes cross supports that are sometimes metal, there is more area and
different types of materials to clean. Regardless of the materials used to make the sink, gentle and regular cleanings
are recommended to keep it looking clean and well maintained.
Porcelain Console Sinks: Non-abrasive or mildly abrasive cleaners are recommended for porcelain while anything
acidic is discouraged as it can etch the porcelain. A mild paste of baking soda and water can be whipped up at home
and easily clean soap scum from porcelain with no leftover residue.
Stone Sinks: A pH cleanser formulated specifically for stone will produce the best results.
As a general rule, never scrub sinks of any material with abrasive cleaners containing chlorine bleach, ammonia, or
hydrochloric acid, and never use steel wool, metal brushes, or abrasive pads. These can damage the finish of the sink.
CLEANING THE LEGS OF A CONSOLE SINK
The legs of the console sink are what make it unique and offer certain vintage charm. Keep them sparkling by following
these guidelines.
Brass Legs: If brass legs from your console sink have stains or spots, these can be easily removed with good-quality,
commercial brass polish. Minor scuffs can be removed with a fine, water-based automotive rubbing compound found
at most auto supply stores. Follow this with brass polish for a spectacular shine.
Stainless Steel Legs: This material can be cleaned in the same way you clean a stainless steel sink. Use a cleaner
formulated for stainless steel, or you can make your own cleaner using baking soda, water, and vinegar.
Acrylic Legs: These can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing liquid or ammonia-based cleaner. Avoid
abrasive scrubs or cleaners as they can scratch the material.
