• Always consult the manufacturer's care instructions before using any cleaning product.
• Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
• Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads or rough materials that may cause scratches.

Reasons why a black sink loses its shine

There are several reasons why a black sink may lose its shine:

• Limescale: Hard water can cause deposits that create a dull, grey appearance.
• Scratches and wear: Everyday use can lead to fine scratches that reduce the depth of colour and shine.
• Incorrect cleaning products: Harsh or abrasive cleaners can damage the coating.
• Grease and soap residue: Residues can form a film that dulls the surface.

By addressing these factors and using the correct products and maintenance routine, you can restore and maintain the appearance of a black sink effectively. With the right approach and HG products, you can effectively tackle these issues and make your black sink shine like new. Follow our tips and use our specialist cleaners for the best results.
