something compelled bstevens , to say:

We have a brand new home. I was cleaning some stickers off the glass
fireplace covers and spilled about half a cup full of goo-gone onto
the fireplace hearth. It's a very light, cream-colored limestone. I
wiped it up as much as I could, but it left a wet-looking spot on the
stone about a foot wide. Is there some way I can get it out? Will it
dissipitate through the stone over time?

I'm thinking of heating it with a small propane torch, perhaps.... a
blow dryer had no effect.

Please help - this is our brand new home, we moved in 1 week ago, and
this looks horrible, right in the living room. Please reply to the
group.

Put goo-gone on the whole stone so it will look even.

On a more serious note, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if
they have a suggestion.


(Citrus and Petroleum Solvent-Based Stain Remover)

I looked at the MSDS Sheet. It suggest: STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF
SPILLAGE OR LEAKAGE: Ventilate area. Spilled material can be picked up
with sorbant material. Use caution where surfaces may become slippery
from spilled material.

Cat litter?

Lousy MSDS. Tells nothing about chemistry and it would not take much of
a dye or pigment to set the stain. I might try some household shower
spray with bleach and if that does not work the suggestion to stain the
whole surface might not be a bad idea. One of my fireplace hearths is
white brick and I've found it impossible to clean as stuff soaks in.
