Marble is a porous material,it is inevitable that some residues and dirt will fill in the cracks with the wiping of the rag and breed bacteria.Of course, these shortcomings can be avoided as much as possible by paying attention to the maintenance after installation.

Pros of granite countertops:

1. Heat resistance: granite has excellent heat resistance and heat dissipation. The heated pot can be directly placed on the countertop without leaving any traces; it will not cause bubbles or cracks on the countertop due to excessive temperature difference.

2. Resistance: Granite has basically no pores, and it is not easy to breed bacteria, dirt, mold and mildew.

3. Hardness: The hardness of granite is second only to diamond in nature, so granite countertops are not prone to scratches, hard but not brittle.

4. Stability: Granite is stable in nature, non-conductive, non-magnetic, resistant to acid and alkali, corrosion resistance, good shock absorption, and long service life.

Cons of granite countertops:

Single shape: you can't make a one-piece shape. It is no problem to make a flat-shaped countertop with granite, but a countertop with a corner can only be joined by one side of the stone, and cannot be made into a whole piece.

Therefore, the choice of kitchen countertops depends on your choice. If you like the variety of marble textures and colors, then choose marble countertops. If you pay attention to practicality, choose granite countertops.
