Soapstone Countertops for a Clean, Non-Absorbent Look

Advance Marble & Granite carries an extensive line of soapstone countertop options. Although it's traditionally known for classroom chemistry lab counters, soapstone has risen enormously in popularity amongst homeowners in the last few years. 

This popularity is due to several factors. Soapstone has a rich, natural tone, is softer, more versatile than many other materials, and is highly heat-resistant. Soapstone also has nearly no water absorbency and a porosity of almost zero. 

This quality makes it ideal for the kitchen, as it can withstand raw ingredients without holding bacteria. It also means that maintenance often requires only water and a gentle cleaner. Since it is a softer stone, soapstone countertops are likely to scratch. Thanks to that softness, however, you can easily buff out or remove most of your countertop's scratches yourself.

Advance Marble & Granite has over a decade of experience installing soapstone countertops for Buzzards Bay, MA residents. We pride ourselves on unmatchable quality and customer service.

Mineral Oil Applications to Enhance Your Soapstone's Look

Untreated soapstone usually has a soft gray color. You can make this color darker and more even with mineral oil. Oil treatments are optional, however, and many homeowners prefer the look of untreated soapstone.

Many soapstone suppliers sell oil specially designed for the stone, but you can also use mineral oil purchased at a grocery store or pharmacy. Contact Advance Marble & Granite today for more information about applying mineral oil to your soapstone countertop.
