Stone Dimensions - Fall/Winter 2007 - (Page 25) Butterfly Green Granite Granite Countertops: #1 in Cleanability! In a recent study, granite countertops provided the greatest reduction in bacteria counts of all materials tested! Six countertop surfaces were contaminated with E. coli bacteria, then washed and rinsed using dish soap and “normal and reasonable” cleaning practices. Reduction in Bacteria After Washing & Rinsing: Granite 36,000 to 1 * Stainless Steel 4,000 to 1 Concrete 2,400 to 1 Tile 900 to 1 Wood 500 to 1 Plastic Laminate 285 to 1 A follow-up study evaluated the differences in cleanability of three common unsealed natural stones used for countertop surfaces against an engineered stone. Overall, there was no statistical difference in reduction after wash and rinse for any of the four surfaces www.marble-institute.com Genuine Stone™ and the Genuine Stone seal are trademarks of the Natural Stone Council. * Source: “The Reduction of E.
