Soapstone Countertops Maintenance. Any residue sits on top of the stone and is cleaned away with simple soap and water. Any household cleaner or chemical cleaner can be used on soapstone.
General Care Cleaning soapstone countertops is extremely simple using mild soap and water. Over time the mineral oil will need to be re-applied every 4-8 weeks to keep all the countertops uniform in color as the oil will evaporate. Refinishing your countertops or any other soapstone surface is easy when you use a Random Orbit Sander like the one pictured above.
Simply apply linseed oil and beeswax with a cloth allow it to set for a few hours and then wipe dry.
Soapstone Countertop Care Because it requires no sealing soapstone is relatively low-maintenance. You can oil the countertops any way you like. Before you begin oiling your soapstone saturate a soft clean lint-free cloth microfiber towel or sponge with a mild soapy water solution and use it to go over the entire surface. The wax will turn it a rich black like Sarahs soapstone countertops.
