The TOTO Arvina vessel sink is designed for standard bathroom use. Operate the faucet according to its manufacturer's instructions to control water flow and temperature. The front overflow is designed to prevent minor overfilling; however, continuous monitoring is recommended during use.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your TOTO Arvina sink.

6.1 Cleaning the Sink

• The sink features TOTO's CEFIONTECT glaze, a super-smooth, ion-barrier surface that helps keep the sink cleaner longer by minimizing waste from adhering to the ceramic.
• For daily cleaning, wipe the sink surface with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
• For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.
• Do not use: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, strong acids or alkalis, or cleaners containing harsh chemicals, as these can damage the CEFIONTECT glaze and the sink's finish.

6.2 Overflow Care

Periodically clean the overflow channel to prevent buildup. A small brush can be used with a mild cleaner, followed by a thorough rinse.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink.

7.1 Leaks Around Drain or Faucet

• Cause: Loose connections or improper sealant application.
• Solution: Turn off water supply. Check and tighten all connections for the faucet and drain assembly. Reapply plumber's putty or silicone sealant if necessary, ensuring a proper seal.

7.2 Slow Drainage

• Cause: Partial clog in the drain or P-trap.
• Solution: Remove the drain stopper and clear any visible debris. If the issue persists, disassemble and clean the P-trap. Avoid pouring grease or large debris down the drain.

7.3 Water Spots or Stains

• Cause: Hard water deposits or residue from soap/cosmetics.
• Solution: Regularly wipe the sink dry after use. For stubborn spots, use a mild vinegar solution (diluted with water) or a specialized non-abrasive cleaner for hard water stains. Rinse thoroughly.
