Hello! We are in the process of remodeling the kitchen and we have chosen Key West Gold for the granite. Our cabinets are a deep rich cherry color. Are there any “gotchas” to watch out for with this granite? I am worried about cleaning it and keeping it looking nice. Are there any regular spray cleansers you can buy at the store that will kill the germs, but not harm the granite? We are considering the ogee edge. Will this granite look lighter on the edges like you mentioned some granites would? Thank you.

I do not believe that you will have any issues with Key West granite. This is a very solid stone and the color is light enough that you will not see a change in shading at the edge detail. Still, please don’t take my word for it. Try to see an edge sample at your local fabricator or supplier.

Regarding cleaners, I recently tested a product by Stone Care International that I thought was very good. I don’t want to promote one good product over another, but check out their website for the more information about a ‘germ-fighting’ cleaner.
