Does anybody here have a wood sink of any kind? I just ordered a bamboo vessel sink and was wondering about cleaning it. I don't really think it's a big deal, but the contractor was a bit worried about it.

I know it's a little unusual...just wondering if anyone can help. Thanks.

that is very new to me ! wow ! what will they think of next ?

Wood Vessel Sink / Wood Wash Basin Care
All BathroomVesselSinks.com wood vessel sinks are coated with a natural varnish derived from varnish tree (aka Rhus Verniciflua Stokes), this varnish creates a barrier between the wood and the water allowing for a perfect seal. The hardwood is carefully kiln dried and is extremely durable, the hard coat of varnish will prevent the wood from rotting due to water in the basin or moisture in the air.

To clean your BathroomVesselSinks.com wood vessel sink we recommend that you use any soft, anti-bacterial liquid soap and sponge to clean your sink. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals, bleach or sponges with scouring surfaces. Any chemicals used for draining problems should be poured directly into the drain, avoiding contact with the sink surfaces. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface of sink. We also recommend that you keep the sink exposed to water at least once every 2 weeks due to natural property of hardwood and the varnish coating. Following these care procedures will guarantee that the finish of your BathroomVesselSinks.com wood vessel sink will remain clear and glossy for years to come.

Beautiful sink. That is the manufacturer that I got the info from. On the bottom of the home page. With 5 females dyeing their hair I could never have a wooden sink.
