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.

Thanks,

Propane torch? You clean fingerprints from the wall that way too?
Heck, the company has instructions for it's products on the web, as well
as customer service numbers:

Since several uses end with instructions to wash with water, it seems
logigal to try to wash it off. I would pile old towels around the
hearth to keep water off the carpet. Then lay soaking-wet towel on the
spot, let it soak, suck up with shop-vac. Repeat as needed. With a
brand new house, I'd be inclined to run that scenario past the tech
support at the mfg.

I've used cat litter to soak up spilled motor oil on concrete - works
fine on the oil but leaves some gray residue - probably micro-particles
of litter - on the concrete. Scary to use on a brand new hearth, but
might work. You might also contact your insurance company - ya never
know how helpful folks can be until you ask. Let us know )
