View Full Version : Wanting to clean up my stones in fire place(some are black) jsys11 28-05-2005, 06:08 Is there anything I can buy or do what cleans black soot of my stones accessories in my fireplace thanks ja.. Fareast 29-05-2005, 08:31 Well , it is a fascinating problem but you'll need professional advice on this one , I'm afraid. If you look through the Yellow Pages or a Local Services book , you might find what you're looking for under , "Soot Removers " or , "Stain Removers ". I don't know if they do Home Visits but you could ask , for nothing. I know , from personal experience , that there is nothing so annoying as soot-stained stone. I used to wince every time I looked towards the fire when my stones were affected. My late uncle eventually just covered them over as there was no , "Yellow Pages " in those days ! Good luck and good stain removing ! PIF_Tails 29-05-2005, 09:13 When we got our heathstone from a local stone quarry we had to buy a special sealant to use on the stone whilst it was clean. Now we wash the stone with hot water and soap and a scrubbing brush. Real Fire are so worth the hassel of cleaning them fnkysknky 29-05-2005, 16:31 What sort of fire is it - real or gas? zombiekillah 29-05-2005, 22:16 i dont really have much knowledge of cleaning etc but have u tried vinegar? may sound odd but my mate smashed a bottle on the floor and the stone came out so clean afterwards! smells a bit but really does the job for cleaning . worth a shot anyway , and cheap :thumbsup: |
