gorgeous sink

I used to have an acrylic sink made by a fancy brand. It was okay, but I had to use bleach on it almost daily in order to get the stains off of it. and after 2 or 3 years it developed quite a few chips. the scratches were visible from the get-go because it was originally a glossy finish. I knew I did not want that again, and I knew I didn't want the price and the worry of chipping a cast iron or porcelain sink. so I looked into these granite composite sinks. a lot of people said that they were hard to keep clean, especially with hard water. I live in West Virginia where the hard water is at the peak of its game! I have found that there isn't anything bar keepers friend powder can't buff out. I do dishes on a daily basis and the sink is looking great. I haven't needed to use bar keepers powder in it yet. I've had it for a little over a month now. I had it professionally installed when my countertops went in, and it drains nicely. I also love that the sinkhole is on the right side because now I can create storage to the side of the disposal. I have had pots scuff the surface and leave that stainless steel mark, but it wipes off with my washcloth, so it's not a big deal at all. I love the matte look to it, looks more natural and it's a better balance against my glossy countertops. and lastly, i love the color. it's not stark white, but a natural white. I hope you can see the contrast against a white sheet of paper.
