I cut on it, set hot pans on it, spilled stuff, cleaned it with soap and water, put it in the sink, everything you are not supposed to do. Had more problems with the rubber feet I put on the bottom then anything else. After 8 years I sold the home and left the cutting board as the people wanted it because it still looked just as good as the counter. Only issue was it was a really heavy cutting board.


Granite is pretty much maintenance free. I use Simple Green stone polish in a spray form and the granite gleams! It's as easy as pie! I always wonder why granite got such a bad rap.
