Beautiful sink, only recommend when cleaning to wipe down with a rag. In my case I’m old school and have always used AJAX with a sponge to wipe away bacteria from sinks and scratched it.  obviously common sense was to not use a sponge to clean but it definitely gets worn out relatively quickly even with a few plates so now I’m in search for a silicone type cover to avoid further damaging it. Do I recommend yes! But invest in a sink cover to make the best out of your investments longetivity.
