NON-POROUS:

Soapstone is bacteria resistant, it is also known as “anti-bacterial” since it does not absorb food or liquid, so any residue left on top of the stone can easily be cleaned away with just soap and water, and the residue will not be absorbed by the stone. Also soapstone does not need to be sealed with resin, unlike marble and granite. Soapstone is recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA ) as a suitable surface material for contact with food.

 

HEAT RESISTANT:

You can take a pan right from the stove to the countertop. ​

 

ACID RESISTANT:

You can spill anything on soapstone and it will not harm at all. Due to its characteristics, Soapstone is required in many laboratories and acid rooms.
