FAQs

White farmhouse sinks—especially fireclay—are surprisingly easy to maintain. The glossy, kiln-fired surface resists stains, scratches, and discoloration. Most everyday marks remove with mild soap and a soft sponge. For tougher stains, baking soda paste or Bar Keepers Friend (non-abrasive formula) is safe for fireclay.

High-quality fireclay and composite farmhouse sinks are engineered to resist stains, scratches, and heat. Fireclay has a glass-like glaze that prevents absorption, while white quartz/granite composite sinks use color-through material that hides marks. Surface scuffs typically remove with non-abrasive cleaners.

The two most reliable materials are:

Fireclay – glossy, traditional, extremely hard, best stain resistance
Quartz/Granite Composite – matte, modern, highly scratch-resistant

If you want a classic bright white, choose fireclay.

If you prefer a matte modern look, choose composite.

Most homeowners choose one of the following:

30" – fits small/standard kitchens
33" – most popular; fits 36" sink bases
36" – large, statement size

Always check your cabinet width and interior clearance before buying.
