The Knowledge of Tile Clear

You’ll want to steer clear of bleach, ammonia, and any other substances potent enough to wear down the delicate stone. If you’re a stickler for natural ingredients, you can mix up a quick, simple Soapstone tiles-safe cleaner using a combination of water, rubbing alcohol, and mild liquid dish soap. 

Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to give your homemade cleaner an irresistible scent! Sand and oil deep scratches to minimize their appearance.

One of the only downsides of Soapstone tiles is that it is possible to leave noticeable scratches or gouges in the soft material if you’re not careful. Fortunately, a little nick isn’t the end of the world.

Just buff the scratch with a sheet of high-grit sandpaper and immediately rub on a coat of oil to protect the newly-smoothed finish. When you’re done, it should look as good as new!

Go with an ultra-fine 120- to 22-grit sandpaper to avoid doing any more unwanted damage to the scratched surface. To decrease the risk of a bad scratch, always use a cutting board to prepare food items, and never set hot pots or pans directly on your Soapstone tiles surface.
