• How do I clean my SCHOCK quartz composite sink?

  SCHOCK sinks made of Cristalite® or Cristadur® are easy to clean. For daily care, use water and a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive chlorine-based cleaning agents. SCHOCK recommends their dedicated care products for stubborn stains and to maintain the surface finish.

  While DIY installation is possible, SCHOCK strongly recommends professional installation. Improper installation may void the warranty, particularly for plumbing connections and faucets.

  Spare parts diagrams and lists are often included in the product manual. You can order specific parts, such as cartridges or seals, through authorized SCHOCK dealers or the SCHOCK service department.
