Typically, granite will resist most stains. Because granite is very dense, and not very porous, it does not readily absorb liquid, and therefore makes it suitable as counter tops for kitchens and bathrooms, for more reasons than just beauty alone.

In case of stains, there are commercial pastes that can be applied to remove a variety of stains. Prevention is always the best solution, so make sure that you read up on the proper care of granite countertops.
