Default HELP with Goo-Gone spill!!

bstevens wrote:
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.



I don't know what the constituents of goo-gone are but do know that putting
a propane torch close to limestone so that it becomes hot does not sound
like a good idea.

Does goo-gone have organic solvents; how volatile are these; will they
evaporate over time?

Sorry not to be more helpful.
