How do I prevent water spots on the copper finish?
The most effective way is to dry the sink with a towel after you have finished using it for the day.
Troubleshooting
Water spots or mineral buildup on the copper surface
Wipe the surface with a mixture of water and a small amount of mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Slow drainage
Check the drain assembly for debris or buildup and ensure the plumbing trap below the sink is clear.
Small scratches appearing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Rea Leo 40 is straightforward due to the pre-drilled tap hole. Ensure your countertop cutout is measured precisely to the sink's dimensions to ensure a flush, secure fit. When installing, use a high-quality silicone sealant to bridge the gap between the sink rim and the countertop to prevent water leakage. For daily care, use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or bleach-based cleaning agents, as these can dull or damage the brushed copper coating. Periodic drying of the surface with a soft towel is recommended to keep the copper finish looking vibrant.
