What is the process for re-oiling a soapstone countertop?
To re-oil a soapstone countertop, first clean the surface thoroughly with mild soap and water and allow it to dry completely. Apply a thin, even coat of food-grade mineral oil using a clean, soft cloth, working in small sections. Let the oil penetrate for about 20-30 minutes, then wipe off any excess with a clean, dry cloth to prevent stickiness. Repeat as desired for a deeper patina.
