Love my sink. I believe it is a granite composite material. I just wipe the sink down with dishsoap and water...then shine it up with olive or another type of oil if necessary.

Hello. This would be considered granite. Please review Swanstone's care and cleaning instructions, which have been listed below and can be found at http://theswancorp.com/index.php?page=care_cleaning. "We recommend you use warm water and a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You can also use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner and detergent. To remove hard water, calcium and lime use white vinegar on a paper towel and rinse after 20 minutes. To restore luster and extend time between cleanings Weiman Granite Cleaner & Polish is recommended. If you encounter staining liquids, such as dyes and vegetable juices, rinse off as soon as possible. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, metal-scouring pads and bleach or alkali cleaners, such as ammonia."

I have granite...which I guess is like marble. I love this cleaner. Cleans easily without much elbow grease. No streaks....better that regular kitchen cleaner. I don't use it every time I wipe the counters.

Well counter tops are generally highly polished and do bead water after being polished. Outside granite might have a coarse finish? If they are polished I would think they would be slippery when wet.

we wash our granite top with soap & water. works fine. make sure it's cool 1st. also we found it best to allow plenty of time for the stone to heat thru.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

Unfortunately, I do not have a name for the white granite. My information says it is white granite with tan and gray veins.

My surface was a rock fountain so I just made sure it was clean from dust and debris...if you are using plastic I might think about sanding it a bit?.....

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

We just use dish soap. A light coat of vegetable oil with a paper towel gives it back its deep dark color. Try it! My wife says nothing else works, although I've thought about granite clean and shine.

Not sure which model number I got. It does have the stone inside. I think one on top and one on bottom. It was a gift and he knows it better, however, he loves it and it really makes a good crust! We really like it but mastering dough pressing is an art! Practice makes perfect. We are still practicing!

The oven doesn't really get dirty but the stone does. A simple wipe down of the stone does the trick. I only use a paper towel so it's really easy.

mine is a work in progress as well. I have the sinks and the granite installer is working around them.

This stone is cookware grade. There are to many flaws. There are holes and cracks. This makes cleaning difficult and allows for bacteria to be trapped.

Granite is not sealed at the factory. It is sealed after it is installed. Be sure to use an appropriate sealer if your installers did not do that for you.

Grinding rice helps eliminate powdering, a common condition with stone. Hopefully this granite is strong enough that it will not continue to powder. If it does then I would suspect the granite is of poor, weak quality. Could you kindly update us if the powdering eventually stopped after conditioning? I'm interested in buying this myself. Thanks! :-)
