A:  The Orwell is easy to maintain as long as you understand that the living finish will constantly change with time and use, getting light with general wear and tear, but always darkening up to the dark antique copper finish.

We recommend waxing the sink with a high grade carnauba wax once or twice a month to help reduce the dramatic color changes in the finish.

A:  The patina will be fine, any hard water deposits can be taken off with some vinegar to loosen up the deposits and a dish scouring pad, like the rough side of a dish sponge. The living finish on the sink will always change color and hue with regular time and use, but that will happen with any pure copper sink.
