Some granites may be more porous than others. We had a natural New Hampshire granite in our home up north and that really absorbed a lot of water, stains from grease, wine, etc., and my wife was always sealing it to keep it looking good. She is also quite fastidious and notices things many other people wouldn't. I would think if you choose a high quality stone you should be OK, but if you Google granite maintenance you may find more information. Quartz is the new in thing with the young, I hear it needs zero maintenance.
