Naturally anti-bacterial and stain resistant.
Looking for a countertop that’s as beautiful as it is practical? Soapstone countertops are a completely natural surface known for their rich, soft tones, smooth feel, and incredible resistance to stains and acids. With no need for chemical sealants or special cleaners, this eco-friendly, low-maintenance option is a favourite for both traditional and modern designs.
What is Soapstone?
Soapstone is a natural stone quarried from the earth and made up primarily of talc and other minerals. Its non-porous surface makes it naturally resistant to stains, moisture, and bacteria, no sealing required. This smooth, matte stone is also unaffected by acidic substances like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine, making it a top performer in the kitchen.
Soapstone’s ability to withstand daily wear and its soft, velvety texture make it an appealing choice for homeowners who want a natural look with minimal upkeep.

Care & Maintenance
Soapstone is easy to clean and maintain. These are some tips to keep in mind:
- Clean with mild soap and water.
- Optional: Apply mineral oil to darken the surface and even out natural wear.
While soapstone is generally considered low maintenance, it is important to know that it does scratch easily. Some scratches can be sanded out, but many homeowners with soapstone countertops love the character it develops over time. It is meant to look natural, and lived in!
