Buying Guide

Should I install a sink in my kitchen island?

If you're wondering whether you should install a sink in your kitchen island, you should know the advantages and disadvantages that come with it.

Some of the pros of having a kitchen island sink are that you can interact with people while doing the dishes, keep an eye on the kids while doing kitchen work, and a sink on the island works as a grand centerpiece of attraction.

Some of the drawbacks are that while the white kitchen island with granite top sink looks gorgeous at first, it will look horrible after a meal, unless, of course, you clean the dishes immediately, but this isn't always possible. Kitchen islands are primarily used for prepping, serving, and entertaining, and having a sink in the island interrupts the flow and eats into the countertop space.

Choosing between practicality and aesthetics may help you decide whether or not to install a sink in your kitchen island.

How to look after granite top kitchen island?

You can look after your white kitchen island with granite top by dusting its surface with a microfiber cloth on a regular basis.

For more serious spillages, get rid of any excess first, and then spray some non-abrasive liquid cleaner (without any bleach!), wiping it off with a clean cloth.

Alternatively, good old vinegar is always a good substitute for store-bought cleaning products.

How do you sanitize a kitchen island with a granite top?

The most effective way to sanitize a white kitchen island with granite top is to use a bottle of 70% isopropyl alcohol. To thoroughly sanitize the countertop, spray the solution onto the granite and let it sit for three to five minutes, then rinse it with water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Bleach and ammonia-based cleaners are unsuitable options for sanitizing because they can stain and discolor the surface.
