Soapstone countertops are one of the most beautiful yet hardest materials to care for. After years of use on a daily basis, they can be prone to many scratches, even ones that are not deep. While it is possible to get a new countertop from the manufacturer, what is much more common is to take care of your countertop yourself.
Soapstone countertops are made from an extremely hard mineral called quartz. It is made from layers of calcium carbonate, which is a mixture of calcium and oxygen. Because it is so hard it needs to be maintained. To do this, it needs to be cleaned regularly, and it needs to be kept in a cool and dry environment. The easiest way to do this is by using a dry vacuum.
The best way to keep your countertops clean is to use a dry vacuum. However, it is possible to use a wet vacuum. You can find this in most stores and on the internet. Many companies also sell dry and wet vacuums that work in conjunction. I have a wet vacuum and it works great. I can vacuum a countertop in about an hour. I can vacuum a countertop for several hours without any issues.
Wet vacuums work great for scrubbing and cleaning off lint and dust from surfaces. They also come with some great extras. They can also pull lint from your countertop, so they are great for cleaning out your bathroom. They don’t last as long as a dry vacuum, but they are certainly a lot more affordable.
I have a wet/dry vacuum that works great, but I have not used the dry vacuum for a little more than a month. It is very quiet and doesn’t do a ton of damage to the surface.
I dont use a dry wall cleaner. I dont really get the need. I use a good quality lint remover, but I dont really know if it will work. I also dont know if it will last as long as a regular lint remover. I dont really use the paper towels for the bathroom either.
There’s a great article on how to care for countertop surfaces. You can google “how to care for countertops” and you’ll find tons of articles. To me, the most important part is keeping them clean and dry. I used to have an old-school “wet dry” vacuum that would actually be a pretty good vacuum.
I use a good quality lint remover, but I dont really know if it will work. I also dont know if it will last as long as a regular lint remover. I dont really use the paper towels for the bathroom either.
Lint can be good for the countertops, but if it does get over-dried or becomes damaged, it will eventually clog up the vacuum. It also tends to clog up the door to the kitchen sink. If you have to use the paper towels, be sure to wipe them down with a paper towel soaked in vinegar. You will need to keep the vinegar out of the sink.
