Sometimes we get reports of water pooling in a new sink. The most likely cause of this issue is residual oil from the manufacturing process causing surface tension to hold the water in the sink. The “pools” are usually shallow, as shown in the picture below.
The solution is simple. Clean the sink with Bar Keeper’s Friend and a sponge or no scratch scrubbing pad. It might take a few scrubbings and some time, but the pooling will clear up.
Here is an email from the Daren who took the pictures above.
Tom,
I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know that your Bar Keepers Friend idea worked. I followed the directions to a T and tried not to leave that stuff on for more than a minute.
Thank you!
After using that powder once a day for 4 days the puddling cleared up.
The more you know…
Thanks again for taking action, providing guidance, offering cleaning samples and standing behind your product!
Hard to find that kind of good service these days.
