[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Granite is not bullet-proof, nor is it maintenance-free.  Not sure where people are getting that idea?  As a porous material, it can harbor bacteria.  As a result, it should be sealed annually, although many people don't realize this and skimp on the upkeep.  It also can stain.  Even with sealing, the surface is only stain-resistant--not stain-proof.  You’ll still need to quickly clean up any spills like coffee or wine.  Materials like quartz and soapstone are non-porous and much better in this regard.

See here for some examples of what can happen:

I've had granite for more than 15 years in two different homes.  Never sealed  after first time. Lenny of juice and coffee spills, no stains.[/quote]
+1 Never have had stains. I think newer granite is very well sealed before installing. I have certainly NEVER refinished mine, nor do I have a "hidden bacteria" problem. Laughable.[/quote]
