The Top 10 Coolest Bathroom Sinks

Well it depends on the type of material the sink is made out of. Here's a quick rundown of the types.

Glass - Glass sinks can be finicky. If you let them air dry, water spots will develop. Use a mixture of vinegar and water to remove them. Also, be careful about storing things over your sink. If an object falls hard enough on the glass, it can shatter. It is also recommended that water temperatures be set between 120-130 degrees to prevent scalding water from shattering the glass. Also make sure you use a non-abrasive cloth to wipe it clean. Scouring pads will scratch the glass.

Natural Stone - If the material is porous, is is more likely to absorb liquids that can stain it. Use a stone sealer once a year to help it sustain it's natural beauty. It is also recommended that you use a stone polishing pad to wipe down your sink and clean it with a professional stone cleaning solution. These can be found at any local hardware store.

Copper SInks - Copper sinks are unique in that they develop a unique petina that cannot be rushed or duplicated. They age over time and, in my opinion, become more beautiful. If you have hard water, it is advised to wipe your copper sink dry after every use with a soft cloth. Copper sinks are more germ friendly also; bacteria can only live a couple of hours in them.

Ceramic Sinks - Ceramic sinks are very durable and can withstand almost anything. All they need is a little soap and water to keep them clean. You can use an all purpose cleaner or detergent to maintain it. Using abrasive cleaners and solvents might dull the surface so it might be best to avoid them. If you happen to have hard water, try to clean your sink more often in order to maintain a glossy finish.

*Also, if you have a handmade sink or something really unique, buyer beware is the best policy. Make sure to ask the artist about care and how to maintain your sink. *
