Granite isn't for everybody but it's not fragile at all except for impacts that will chip it. Use a good sealer and fear not. Windex is a lot quicker than soapy water, it's takes forever to get the soap all off. Windex is quick and it'll shine like a diamond.

Don't get granite if........
1. You have kids, they ruin everything!!!!
2. If you walk through the house and continually find crap broken, you ask who broke it, when it was broken, and all you get is shrugs from the kids and spouse

Engineered Quartz is near kid and spouse proof

We went with quartz. We walked the Tulsa home show once with my wife wanting granite.
I did a lot of looking on the internet before we went.
Granite has to be manually sealed annually. Even if it is sealed, red wine (as an example)will stain it.
100 percent of the contractors at that show agreed with me.
