My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is black honed granite harder to keep clean?

11 years ago
We have white shaker cabinets and will be using white appliances. I like the idea of the contrasting black but wondered about fingerprints, dust, etc. It was suggested that I use honed black pearl. Is black pearl much different than absolute black?

    Each company calls it's stone a different name. Stone with imperfections will show less stains.

    Thanks so much. Our granite was installed and I went with River White. I am very happy that I made that choice.

    They are not hard to keep clean but they do show crumbs and specks more! I use Sparkle to clean them and Signature polish to polish them now and then.
