Blanco Silgranit sink - white or truffle (staining, durability)

last year

I'm trying to decide between a white or truffle Blanco sink for my laundry room. Both go well with our color scheme. So I'm trying to determine if one will hold up better for staining, discoloration over time. I was thinking white since I could possilby use softscrub with bleach when necessary. However, I have read some comments that the white gets discolored easily.

Does anyone have experience with these two colors that they can share?

I have a Blanco sink - not sure if it's "white", as it may be an off-white. I don't remember the color name exactly.

Almost everything comes off with a Mr. Clean eraser.

We just did a paint job in our house, and my husband used a solvent based primer that left a few spots. I plan to wipe those off with acetone (fingernail polish remover).

Other than that - it looks like new - whenever I clean it!

It's fine for my laundry room. I still prefer stainless for my kitchen.

Elkay Quartz Luxe is more dense and stain resistant than Blanco. Order samples of each and see for yourself please.

Why make yourslf work a simple good quality stainless sink is IMO always the best choice for material and a white sink just asking for stains and hard work to keep clean

Do NOT get a white Blanco sink. We built a house and moved in two years ago. I cook a lot and the white is always stained. Cleaning is a bear. Today we just replaced both our kitchen and bar sinks with graphite color. The salesperson where we bought the new sinks says this happens all the time.

How do you like your truffle colored sink? Any problems with staining, scratching or water spots? I am considering it for my kitchen.

I have had the truffle colored sink for a few months in laundry room so it hasn't gotten as much use as a kitchen sink. But it is holding up well - no water spots or scrtaches. At first I didn't like the texture since I'm used to corian/enamel/porcelain type sinks througout the house that are shinier and smooth. I thought the Blanco felt plasticky but I'm getting used to it and I think it's fine.
