    It scratches easily. I wouldn't say it's hard, but there is more effort in maintaining soapstone than other materials

    There are many pros to using Soapstone for your bathroom countertops. While soapstone does scratch, it is easily buffed out by rubbing mineral oil into the scratched area. Deeper scratches can be lightly sanded then oiled. Soapstone is non-porous which makes it resistant to bacteria, a major plus when using it in a bathroom! Cleaning requires very little maintenance since it is impervious to staining and doesnt require use of harsh products! Cleaning could mean something as simple as a wipe down using soap and water. I hope this is helpful!
