why is the metallic grey blanco sink more expensive
Comments (2)Don't buy from your "dealer". What does "dealer" mean? Is that your contractor? A local retail store? Which Silgranit sink is it? Maybe it's not the color that is more expensive, it's the size/configuration of sink you want that costs more than another style. Are YOU choosing the size/configuration, or is your "dealer" choosing it for you? We bought our Silgranit sink online from homeandstone, and were very happy with the process, and the price. I'll link their website, but they are closed on Saturdays, will re-open on Sat. evening. You can check the price and availability there of the sink you want, or try any number of websites for the sink you want. Before you buy online though, check here to make sure it's a good seller. The online sellers of Silgranit sinks vary greatly in quality. Here is a link that might be useful: Home and Stone...See MoreNew Blanco Silgranite Metallic Gray Sink has wavy stains, water lines
Comments (18)Thank you so much for this thread. I also just got a Blanco metallic grey sink and it had the exact same spots as you describe. I tried 1) paste of water and baking soda and scrub with a sponge for 5 min, 2) thick application of Dawn liquid dish soap, let it sit for 5 min, then scrub with a sponge for 5 min, 3) Bar Keepers Friend cleaning powder, 4) BlancoClean Daily+ Sink Cleaner, applied thick layer and let it sit for 7 min, then scrub. None of this worked. I contacted the manufacturer and here's what they suggested. -------------- Silgranit sinks are non-porous and are a solid color all the way through and therefore stains are only on the surface and all food grade stains can be removed. I would suggest the below two methods: Fill the sink with very hot water and adding 2-3 cups of white vinegar. Once the water has cooled, drain and you can then use a Scotch Brite pad or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and give it a little scrub with a baking soda and water paste. Once the sink is clean you can apply a thin layer of mineral oil, and this will usually rejuvenate the look of the Silgranit. Dishwasher Tablets- Fill sink with HOT water into the bowl, dissolve a tablet overnight, and then scrub with scotch-Brite nylon pad and then thoroughly rinse with dish soap and water. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to restore the sheen. -------------- For me, suggestion #1 worked beautifully. However, I think the key was the thin layer of mineral oil. Reading this thread, and seeing that others tried various types of oil, gave the confidence to try it. I'm glad I did!...See MoreTruffle or Metallic Gray with Darlington?
Comments (6)What is "Darlington"? Is it a tile? A countertop material? And if by "Truffle" and "Metallic Gray" you are talking about Blanco Silgranit sink colors, I suggest you call Blanco's customer service number (don't email, call), and have them send you color chips of those colors so you can see them at home which will help you decide....See MoreWhich color silgranite sink with white macaubas quartzite?
