How should soapstone countertops be maintained and cleaned?

Soapstone countertops are easily cleaned with warm water and mild soap. For maintenance, mineral oil is often applied periodically to deepen its color and create a uniform patina. This also helps to camouflage any scratches, which can be buffed out with light sanding before re-oiling. Avoid harsh chemicals.
