Copper Sinks - great at killing bacteria


Heare is a really beautiful copper sink, and it is great at killing 99% of the bacteria within two hours. Copper is also used for countertops, evetroughs, and lining rain barrels for the same reasons.


This sink is hand hammered, and made from 100% recycled copper by Native Trails. With the winter season coming, so are the bugs, and a sink link this would help tremendously in cutting down on those bugs. Please note, you can not just leave the dishes in the sink, and hope the copper does the job...LOL. You must actually wash the dishes in hot water and use soap.


Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York City, is looking at using copper in different applications throughout the hospital, because copper kills 99% of bacteria within two hours. I am sure there will be more hospitals looking at doing the same thing.

  3. Hello friends,

    Copper bathroom sinks may even make your home healthier because the copper itself prevents certain bacteria from growing. Copper produces chemical compounds that kill off harmful bacteria, making it an excellent choice of material for a bathroom sink. Before purchasing a copper bathroom sink, ask the vendor if the antibacterial coating is intact. Thanks a lot.....
