I had a colored sink and changed it to stainless. I didn't like the stainless it kept water marks all the time so I changed to a porcelain covered cast iron sink. Love it.

I LOVE my granite composite sink. Very easy to care for. It does not need any sealing or special care. We have had it for 4 years and it still looks new.

I have a white cast iron farmhouse sink and just love it....pans will mark it but I now put a dish cloth under them when I'm cleaning them. Mine is about 5 yrs old and looks like new.

We used to live in a big old house in Maine that had a huge built-in slate sink......I loved that sink. I don't think you can get slate anymore.

We did a kitchen remodel a couple years ago. We settled on a stainless steel sink mainly because the sales person said the cast iron sinks are not made as good today as in the 'olden' days and would should wear really quickly. So far I have been happy with my stainless sink. I didn't know you could get a granite sink, but the granite counter top does need sealing a couple times a year.

Stainless steel is the only kind I've ever had.

Mine is black, doesn't scratch, I just clean it with dish soap or soft scrub and it looks like new again!

I have one too, mine is also black ... I love love love it. I forgot to check to see what cleansers I can use, but I just use a little dish soap and a green scratchie pad. I've had mine for 3 years now and no problems whatsoever.

I really like my stainless steel sink. It replaced an old,chipped white porcelain sink that had rust stains that just never came clean.

This just goes to show how different we all are!! I LOVE my stainless steel. I clean it once or twice a day with dish soap and a scrubbie sponge....always looks great.

We have a stainless steel sink and all we do is wipe it down every night with a couple of Lysol wipes. Done and ready for the next day of work ! Unless its really bad then the Barkeeper's friend comes out and then its a little bit of elbow grease and shiny again !

I have a black composite granite sink and LOVE it! It requires nothing special care wise at all. I clean it out with Comet cleanser or spray cleaner. I've had it five years and it looks brand new.
