Maintain the Look
Care & Maintenance
Care and maintenance of soapstone is for aesthetic purposes only. No actions are required for the health of the stone.
Cleaning
Any household cleaner can be used to clean soapstone surfaces.
Scratches
Soapstone is a softer stone and will scratch from sharp or hard objects. Surface scratches can be easily hidden with the application of mineral oil or soapstone wax.
Oil & Wax
Customers can choose to leave Soapstone in its natural state or use mineral oil or wax to enhance the beauty. The first application of oil or wax will require additional attention but the process is fairly easy. The frequency of future applications will depend on the usage of the stone. Wax can be applied evenly across the surface and then wiped off to ensure the natural soapy feel returns.
