Ceramic sinks are a timeless choice for kitchens and bathrooms—they combine elegant appearance, durability, and easy maintenance. Though they may look delicate, they are actually extremely resilient when properly cared for. In this article, we’ll show you how to keep your ceramic sink clean, shiny, and free of stains with just a few simple steps.

What is a Ceramic Sink?

Ceramic is a material made by firing clay at very high temperatures. The surface of the sink is coated with a special glaze, making it smooth, water-resistant, and resistant to stains and acids. This makes ceramic sinks not only beautiful but also highly practical for daily use.

Daily Maintenance

To keep your ceramic sink looking clean and fresh, you don’t need to put in much effort. A few drops of dish soap and warm water are enough. Wash the surface with a soft sponge and rinse. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent limescale buildup.

Deep Cleaning

Sometimes a deeper clean is necessary. For that, we have the perfect solution – Blanco Deep Clean. Simply spray the product over the sink, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse. Its formula is specially designed for ceramic surfaces, providing a deep yet gentle clean.

Removing Limescale

If you live in an area with hard water, limescale spots are likely a common issue. Here's a simple and natural solution:

• Soak a cloth in vinegar or lemon juice
• Lay it over the affected areas for a few minutes
• Wipe gently and rinse

If the spots are persistent, repeat the process.

Disinfecting the Sink

For effective and non-toxic disinfection, use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1). Spray the surface, let it sit for a few minutes, then dry. This will kill bacteria and refresh your sink.

Final Shine and Protection

Want your sink not just clean, but gleaming? Use a few drops of olive oil applied with a microfiber cloth. This gives a beautiful shine and creates a protective layer that repels water and keeps the sink cleaner for longer.

Extra Care Tips

• Avoid using abrasive sponges or powdered cleaners – they can scratch the glaze
• Don’t leave strongly colored liquids (like coffee, wine, or juice) sitting for too long
• Clean the drain and surrounding area regularly
• Avoid heavy impacts – although durable, ceramic can chip if struck hard

Conclusion

A ceramic sink is not just practical but also a stylish element of any kitchen or bathroom. With proper care, it will retain its elegant look for years to come. There’s no need for harsh or expensive products—just follow these simple steps and enjoy a clean, gleaming sink every day.
