A well-maintained sink keeps your kitchen space looking clean, organised and pleasant to work in. Proper cleaning and regular care help you prevent scratches, stains and dullness, keeping your sink fresh and clean for years.
In this blog, we will discuss simple steps to maintain and care for your kitchen sink so it stays sparkling and hygienic every day.
Essential Guide to Kitchen Sink Maintenance and Care
Follow Daily Cleaning Rituals
Wiping your sink clean every day prevents everyday food scraps and sticky residue from settling firmly onto the surface. Our Blanco Naya 6 Sink is very easy to clean. Simply use warm water and a small amount of liquid detergent to effortlessly remove all traces of grease after washing up. Immediately dry the sink bowl with a soft microfibre cloth after every single use to eliminate standing water.
Clean the Integrated Overflow
The small integrated overflow channel of Häfele's Blanco Naya 6 Sink ensures any excess water escapes safely. You must occasionally clean this often-overlooked area to prevent mould or an unpleasant build-up from accumulating in the small gap.
A final thorough flush with clean water completes the task, helping keep your entire sink beautifully hygienic at all times.
Maintain Proper Drainage
Never pour coffee grounds, food particles, or large amounts of cooking fat down the drain, as they can cause major blockages.
Use a high-quality biological enzyme drain cleaner once a month to break down organic waste throughout the pipework gently.
Remove Hard Water Stains
Hard water contains various mineral salts that naturally leave noticeable white marks, especially around the base of tap fittings. Apply a mixture of white vinegar and clean water to the affected areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes bad odours to come from my sink drain?
Bad smells come from old food particles and grease slowly building up inside the drainpipe and the surrounding sink trap. To prevent this, avoid washing food scraps down the kitchen sink and run clear water through the drain after every clean.
How often should I clean my kitchen sink to prevent odour and stains?
You should wipe your sink clean after each use and perform a thorough deep clean about once a week.
What is the safest way to unclog a slow sink drain?
The safest method is to pour a generous mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain. Follow this immediately with hot water flushing.
Is it safe to pour hot grease or oil down the kitchen sink drain?
No, pouring hot grease or oil down the drain is unsafe. It cools and solidifies quickly, leading to serious blockages.
