Black Pearl granite worktops

[PollyPear]

Anyone have these? We are about to take the plunge and wondered if anyone had any hints and tips about keeping it looking nice and how they find it in general

Thanks in advance

anyone out there with granite worktops?!!

I have blue pearl. I'm guessing that's similar?

Just wipe with with a damp cloth to keep it crumb free. I use method granite cleaner and a microfiber cloth to keep it shiny. I don't let acidic stuff sit on it.

I've had mine 7 years. Still looks amazing. Only a couple of minor unnoticeable chips.

I'm off to Google black pearl.

It's dark grey with a blue fleck. I had a look at black pearl which is quite a lot darker. Mine is very forgiving on crumbs etc!

Oh that blue Pearl is lovely! Hmm may have to re think! Black Pearl similar though - grey flecks I believe

My mum has it and has said never again as they show up smear marks.

I had blue pearl for ten years. Didn't use anything special on it. It stayed beautifully shiny and didn't show any marks. I had s blue pearl kitchen table made to match (John Lewis).

Mine are black granite with tiny gold flecks. I would have preferred plain black as I thought the flecks might date it. DH insisted, it is 7 years old and still looks amazing. Just use kitchen spray on it give it s wipe over and dry with a tea towel.

We've got some kind of black granite (was in the house we bought), I wouldn't choose it, it shows so many water smears. In our previous house we had a white/grey streaky granite, was very forgiving for crumbs and water marks alike!

I have a lighter granite. I absolutely love it! It’s beautiful. I spend time just looking at it!

I clean it with a microfibre cloth in each hand. One to clean the other to shine it up a bit. I have a kitchen island in the middle of the kitchen with light coming in either side and I don’t see any smudges.
