Bacterial Resistance
According to a recent study conducted by the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management, a St. Paul, MN-based organization that develops educational materials and research for the retail food industry, granite and stainless steel are good choices if you are concerned with bacterial contamination on your kitchen counter tops. The study measured the bacteria resistance capacity of several common counter top materials. Each surface was contaminated with E. coli (nearly 2 billion of the microorganism), washed, rinsed with soap and water, and then sanitized with a vinegar and water solution.
