soapstone CARE & MAINTENANCE
Soapstone, a natural stone with a rich and timeless beauty, is known for its elegant, dark hue and smooth, tactile surface. Resistant to heat and staining, it has been a preferred choice for countertops, sinks, and architectural elements for generations.
Soapstone’s unique character emerges as it naturally darkens over time, enhancing its appeal and making it a durable choice for those who appreciate classic aesthetics.
For maintaining the luster and longevity of your soapstone countertops, consider these five essential care and maintenance tips:
- No Sealing Required: Unlike many other natural stones, soapstone doesn't require sealing. It naturally darkens over time and develops a rich patina.
- Regular Oil Application: To enhance the stone's natural darkening process and maintain its luster, apply mineral oil or specially formulated soapstone oil every few weeks, especially when the stone starts to appear lighter in color.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that can harm the surface.
- Heat Resistance: Soapstone is highly heat-resistant, making it an excellent choice for kitchen countertops. It can withstand hot pots and pans without damage.
- Avoid Cutting Directly: While soapstone is resistant to scratching, it's still wise to use cutting boards when preparing food. This practice helps prolong the stone's pristine appearance and protects your knives as well.
