Use: A few drops of dishwashing liquid or all-purpose cleanser and warm water.
Tools: A soft cloth or sponge.
Tips: Rub with mineral oil every couple of weeks during the first year to help the stone oxidize (darken) evenly. Oil every two months after that.
Tough Stains: Soapstone resists water, chemicals, and acids, so it rarely stains. Small scratches can be removed with fine sandpaper.
