Hello Simon, all sinks are un hygienic and it would be the same as cleaning any metal sink just do not use bleach as it can discolour the copper

Pamilerin · Answer

Prepare a cleaning liquid by mixing 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 2 teaspoons of white vinegar (or water) in a small bowl until it becomes a thick paste.
Use a soft sponge or cloth to apply the paste to the stains on the sink and scrub gently.
Rinse the sink with warm running water and dry it with a soft towel.
Polish the sink with a copper polish or wax if desired.

Natasha · Answer

Copper sinks can be hygienic if properly maintained. Copper has natural antimicrobial properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, but it still requires regular cleaning. To clean a hammered copper sink, you can use a mild dish soap and warm water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface and remove the protective patina. Additionally, you can periodically disinfect the sink by wiping it down with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. After cleaning, be sure to dry the sink thoroughly to prevent water spots and tarnishing.
