Even thought quartz (manmade countertops) are stain resistant, it doesn't mean they will not stain. Certain cleaning product can dull/remove the polished finish if not used properly.

And please DO NOT put anything hot on quartz countertops. They will crack, burn and/or melt.

WHY CHOOSE GRANITE?
Granite is used for countertops because of its excellent durability, heat resistance, and unique beauty. It is a hard, dense natural stone that is resistant to scratches and stains when properly sealed. Its low maintenance, natural aesthetic, and ability to add value to a home also make it a popular choice.

~ Durability: Granite is one of the hardest natural stones available, making it resistant to scratches, chips, and general wear and tear from daily kitchen use.
~ Heat resistance: It can withstand high temperatures, so hot pots and pans can often be placed directly on the surface without causing damage.
~ Stain resistance: When sealed, granite is very effective at resisting stains from spills and acids.
~ Low maintenance: Granite is relatively easy to clean and maintain, typically requiring just wiping down with a soft cloth and mild cleanser. It needs to be sealed periodically, but this is a quick and simple process.
~ Hygienic: The dense, non-porous nature of sealed granite prevents bacteria from getting into the material
