I have black granite floors and black laminate countertops.
Is black pearl granite hard to keep clean.
Honed and leathered are very similar so you won t find much of a difference there.
I have to feel around with my fingertips whenever i clean.
When i feel ridges i know there s dirt.
Although it s overwhelmingly black and dark you can see lots of other flecks of colour in this beautiful mottled stone such as gold silver green and grey.
Many people also love black pearl granite because of its hard wearing qualities its ability to keep clean easily and its cost effectiveness.
The problem is the color not the material.
I d say honed leathered granite is actually easier to keep smudge free.
Absolute black granite is jet black and consistent with its color and texture while black pearl granite has dark grey in the color as well as flecks of silver mica.
It s hard to seal it wrong but sealing needs to be done every year.
You probably needed to seal them.
I love the overall look of black floors countertops.
Solid black granite can be harder than other to keep clean.
One thing we noticed with our black granite is any cup that forms a ring on it from condensation and say is left out overnight from a party will leave noticeable hard water rings on your nice.
Both are very difficult to keep clean because the dirt is almost impossible to see.
I was granite shopping the other day and had never heard of leathered granite and fell in love.
I have small kids too.
You can effectively clean black granite countertops simply with water and mild soap.
Each variety can add an interesting dynamic to a kitchen or bathroom design.
