Did anyone receive a response regarding cooking oil
stains on granite? I have the same problem.

Hi,
Responding to the question on countertop stains. I read
this on a website. Does Granite stain? For the most part,
granite does not stain. While it is true that stone is a
porous material, of all the stones, Granite is the least
porous. A sealer is also applied to the stone when it is
installed to further protect it from this possibility. Water
left on a Granite countertop for a long period of time will
show evidence of moisture. It will however evaporate and the
"dark spot" will disappear. Oil left on a Granite surface
will slowly be absorbed into the stone. It is recommended
that any spills be wiped up when they occur. If the spill is
not caught in time and a stain does occur, a poultice may be
applied to draw the oil back out of the stone. Over time the
oil will naturally redistribute itself in the stone until it
becomes virtually undetectable.

Hi,
Does anyone know the least-porous granite colour for a
kitchen countertop? I cook with many Asian spices(curry,etc)
which cause staining.
