Granite worktops

[patacake1960]

Does anyone know how prone to staining, scratching etc., these are? I would love to have these in my new kitchen but have been put off by the companies offering composite tops as they imply that these things can be a problem.

Have had mine for 8 years and there isn't a mark on them. I just clean them with usual kitchen spray and once in a while use a granite spray.

Thanks I thought they were scare mongering a little. I have fallen in love with a particular one but have been hesitating. They particularly mentioned curry as a big no no together with red wine. Gave the impression that these would sink in. Have you had any experience of this?

Ours is called multi red. It is browns and reds swirls but have never had anything cause staining.

There are a kabillion type of granite. Some are stronger than others and some finishes and colours show up scratches more than others.

I have had various types of granite over the years and have never had a problem with staining or scratching.
Mine have survived endless curries and red wine. .
