Cleaning The Sink
- Sink and surfaces must remain as paint free as possible. When you see paint residue while it is wet, please wipe off with paper towels on surfaces or scrub the sink with a sponge or brush to get the surface clean.
- Please do not leave any objects in the sink, other than the sink screen trap.
- The sink has a stopper feature with a lever mechanism under the sink. Sometimes the level may get moved, causing the sink to stop up. You can move the lever to see if this is the cause.
