Cleaning a black astracast sink

gabyjane

We are finally after months getting the sink below fitted hopefully next week!

Does anyone have one and know whats best to clean it with as there is nothing with it on how to best look after it? At the mo with our basic one we chuck hot pans in it etc no probs but can see this doing damage as it seems a diff material..

Thanks

We've had an Astracast Geo for two years and it gets properly abused. No issues at all.

I use multi-surface cleaner and the occassional slug of bleach down the plug.

It does need a good bit of elbow grease as with it being black you can't always see the dirt, but if you run your hands across, you can feel it.

We have had an Astracast ROK Korona black sink for over two years and use Bar Keepers Friend as recommended by Astracast, it still looks like new.
