How To Clean A Black Franke Sink

Franke Granite Sinks are extremely durable and non-porous making them long-lasting and very hygienic. This also means cleaning them is quite simple too. Using a soapy nylon brush and scrubbing in circular motions will usually do the trick. Just remember to thoroughly wash away any extra soap left behind after cleaning.

It is good practice to clean your sink immediately after use. For regular use, a non-abrasive cream cleaner without added bleach such as Franke Coloured Sink Cleaner, which you can purchase here should be used. This should be applied with a soft damp cloth, followed by a clean water rinse and dry.

Additionally, how do you clean a Franke black composite sink? A good composite sink cleaner that works well is a mix of one-part water and one-part vinegar. Scrub the sink well and rinse thoroughly. If the vinegar mixture is allowed to sit on the surface of the composite granite sink, then it can etch into and harm the finish of the sink.

Keeping this in view, how do you get stains out of a Franke sink?

If you want to remove any rust stains from your products, we recommend using a cleaning agent containing oxalic acid (e.g. Bar Keepers Friend®). Always use mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents to remove stubborn stains from your stainless steel and make sure you thoroughly rinse away any cleaning liquids once finished.
