		<description>Thanks for the safety tip. I would like to share the following information with your readers:

Jackson Stoneworks Granite Countertops. 
Granite counter tops are very affordable for both kitchens and bathrooms. Today, homeowners can go to any Lowe’s Home Improvement Store nationwide, order granite vanity tops for their bathrooms in an assortment of popular granite colors custom made by Jackson Stoneworks in sizes up to 100 inches in length and they will be delivered in 14-21 days.

Granite Ranked 1st in Cleanability. 
In a recent study performed by Dr. O. Peter Snyder of the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management (www.hi-tm.com) E. coli bacteria was used as a contaminating agent and Granite ranked 1st in Cleanability. The findings of the report show significant cleanability advantages of natural granite countertops over almost all other commonly found countertop surface materials. The study included 6 countertop surfaces which were washed and rinsed after exposure to the bacteria. They were later cleaned with a 10% solution of white household vinegar (1 part 5% vinegar, 9 parts water). Bacteria counts were taken after both cleaning methods. After washing and rinsing, the granite tops provided the greatest reduction in bacteria counts of all the countertop materials tested:
•	Granite: 36,000 to 1
•	Stainless Steel: 4,000 to 1
•	Concrete: 2,400 to 1
•	Tile: 900 to 1
•	Wood: 500 to 1
•	Plastic Laminate: 285 to 1

Granite and Radon
Recent media attention has focused on granite countertops and whether they can increase your indoor radon levels. While testing your home is always a good idea, a few clarifications are in order.

Granite is recommended by Jackson Stoneworks as the best counter top material available at Lowes.
