Can soapstone countertops be stained?

No, soapstone countertops cannot be stained. Soapstone is a non-porous natural stone surface that is resistant to staining. Its dense composition does not allow for liquids or substances to penetrate and leave permanent marks. Any spills or discolorations that occur on soapstone countertops can generally be easily wiped away with a cloth or cleaned with mild soap and water. Soapstone's inherent resistance to staining makes it an ideal choice for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas subject to spills and messes. With proper care and maintenance, soapstone countertops can maintain their natural beauty and resistance to staining for many years to come.
