I hope I'm posting in the right area. I am enjoying the home decoration post and really felt inspired to help my mother update her kitchen. Her home is a ranch style home. A few years ago, my mom was quite ill and is still recovering so I have decided to be here with her for awhile to help her since my dad is also not doing so well and it is impossible for her to care for him as well. Anyway, She has decided to change her old ceramic tile to granite. She finally had it installed this Friday and wow! It looks gorgeous!
Well, While cleaning up and making sure everything was placed back into her cabinets after cleaning up all that dust.......wow! it was a mess at first but the last thing I did right before i went to bed was make sure the counter top was wiped down. I couldn't help but notice some light flaws and or scratches. My neighbor said this was normal since granite is a natural stone. I love how beautiful the it looks but just worry if my mom decides to take a closer look and notice this as well. I wish i had more knowledge on this but my apartment also has ceramic counter top and I am no help as far as knowledge about granite. I guess it makes sense that a natural stone would have flaws it's only natural right? but would love to hear of others who can help me in the care of granite and if you have these flaws as well.
Thanks much and sorry for the long post!
