Zinc Care & Feeding

1 1/2" Patinated Finish Zinc Countertop, Eased Square Edge
  • Use of a trivet for very hot pots is recommended.
  • If you wish to minimize scratch marks and preserve your knife blades, use a cutting board for chopping.
  • Minor scratches and mineral streaking can be brushed out or blended with a household Scotch brite pad.
  • We recommend "Stainless Steel Magic" cleaner and polish.
  • Use Butcher wax for food preparation surfaces or auto wax (i.e., “Rain Dance”) to help protect the surface and to slow the natural darkening process.
  • To help prevent spotting and glass rings, wipe up liquids promptly.
  • There is no coating or lacquering of metal products, they are raw metals. Care for these products varies based on the
    polish style:
    • Matte Finish: Minor scratches and mineral streaking can be brushed out with a household 3M Green Scotch-Brite pad. Deeper damage may be sanded out using sanding grades up to#220 and blended with a 3M Green Scotch-Brite pad .
    • Mirror-Polished Reflective Finish: zinc, copper or bronze may be serviced with standard metal polish (Noxon). To really renew the finish use an automotive compound with a machine-polishing pad.
    • Patinated finish: Windex is great for day to day cleaning. Sanding or buffing will remove scratches but will also remove the patina. A natural Patina will then return over time.
