Are soapstone kitchen countertops stain resistant?
Soapstone kitchen countertops are considered to be very stain-resistant when compared to other types of materials used to make counters. Soapstone is naturally impervious to most types of liquids, which means it will not allow chemicals or anything else to seap down into the stone surface. This makes it and ideal surface for a kitchen countertop. Other popular materials like granite are very porous, which means spills can get into the stone and cause permanent staining. With soapstone, you really do not have to worry about this problem.
