With natural soapstone!

Soapstone has been a staple in homes for years because it’s remarkably durable and resistant to practically all chemicals. Out of all the natural stone surfaces currently available today, soapstone may be the most versatile of the lot. Unlike granite and marble, it’s non-porous and chemically neutral, so spills such as red wine, lemon acid, tomato sauce, and olive oil are simply not a problem. The stone is also temperature neutral, meaning hot cookware placed on its surface will not damage it either.

    Untreated soapstone shows color in shades of light gray. You may eventually get oil and other spills on your soapstone countertops. If you select this style choice, a spill will merely darken the soapstone in spots and will not stain it because soapstone is non-porous. You can either clean it with a common household cleaner or you can use a household steel-wool pad to clean the spill. Keep in mind that anything that you get on the soapstone surface will not penetrate the stone. This is a popular style of soapstone countertops that is also much less expensive.

    Aged Soapstone Countertops
     
    Aged soapstone is considered many people’s favorite style of soapstone countertop. If you want your countertop to have an aged look, you can oil the soapstone once or twice to the desired shade of color and never oil it again. This initial oiling will create an aged, charcoal look on the surface of the countertop. When you initially oil the soapstone, the oil will not penetrate the non-porous surface. It will eventually fade and should return to its original light gray color. Under some circumstances, the soapstone will not return to the original color but quite close to it.

    Oiled Soapstone Countertops
     
    If you like the deep, vibrant color of soapstone and love to see the striking natural veining, then the oiled soapstone finish is the perfect style for you. To achieve this type of finish, you will need to apply periodic coats of mineral oil to the surface of the soapstone until it develops a permanent patina. If you decide you no longer like this style down the road, you can reverse this finish by removing the coats of mineral oil. This will restore the soapstone to a color close to when it was originally installed.

    The Benefits of Soapstone Countertops

     
    There are many benefits to having this natural stone in your home.

    Soapstone is a non-porous natural stone that resists heat and staining. Use soapstone to create a countertop that will last for years in your home.

    Environmentally Friendly
     
    Soapstone is mined directly from the ground and cut into slabs. These slabs are then cut to custom fit your kitchen. This all-natural stone can also be recycled completely. No sealers or toxic chemicals of any kind are needed to keep your countertop looking and performing great. Mineral oils can be used to achieve a variety of finishes, or you can leave your countertops untreated. Once it has been quarried from the earth, it only needs a cleanup and a trimming before it’s ready to be installed in its natural state.

    Durability
     
    Soapstone is available in varying degrees of hardness. The softest type is used for sculpting while the harder stone is used for products like our countertops. Durability is one of the most prominent benefits of this natural stone. It is a softer material than granite or marble. However, this comes with another benefit to the durability of this countertop. Though it’s possible to scratch a soapstone countertop, any scratch that does occur can be sanded out and oiled. Many other countertop materials cannot be repaired when a scratch happens, making soapstone the obvious choice.

    Stain Resistance
     
    Soapstone is a non-porous material, so it will never absorb liquids. Spilling a glass of red wine on the counter is not a problem, and any acidic liquids can be wiped right off without staining as well. Adding to this benefit, soapstone is so dense that no form of sealing is ever required to protect it. This type of natural stone will resist stains from any liquid for as long as you own it without the aid of chemicals. You can oil the countertop, but oiling is only done for aesthetic reasons and offers no added protection.
